Answer 1

fear leads to another's power. and since there are powers all over the world, seeking to do their tasks, and causing fear among all the powers, making superpowers, there is absolute fear everywhere. but some people aren't lazy. some people will try and fight those superpowers.

Answer 2

fear. its a natural defence. laziness is learned

Answer 3

Fear, I think most people don't reach their goals because they have certain fears like the fear of failure and such. And this can lead to lack of motivation and in turn lead to laziness.

Answer 4

I think it's laziness.Fear is quite abstract or not so severe.If you are

hard working you will never be afraid. But if you are lazy you will

always be scared of failure .That makes the difference.

Answer 5

In my case it's laziness.

Answer 6

Fear was a primitive instinct that was vital for a humans survival; it generated the realse of adrenaline for example, to allow the body to go into action mode to do everything it could to survive. On the other hand laziness seems more of a modern characteristic because you wouldn't see early man (neandrathals) in the rough climates and terrain having much time to rest because he would probably be out hunting. Nowadays, we have the priviledge of not needing to do that.

Answer 7

It's come to the point where many people listen to what they are told by people in position of power. To be successfully independent and not silenced is a concept dampered by people in control so the bottom quesiton, are ordinary civilians to lazy to do somehting about it or to scared, I personally think its a balanced combination of both.

Answer 8

well im really none of those.... when i want to reach a goal, i go for it dude! most ppl are scared if it is something extreame or scary, and some ppl are just plain lazzy.

Answer 9

Fear.  It goes back to the primitive "fight or flight" instinct.  When we're faced with adversity, we either fight or run away.  Laziness is a manifestation of fear and a learned behavior.
