Question

Fear or Laziness? This was a question asked Waking Life

Answer 1

Both are culturally defined, yet it is invariant that everyone feels some type of fear.

Answer 2

I'd say fear, everyone experienced it in their lives.

Answer 3

FEAR. Because the reason we do things is our ways to overcome our fear for something.  

Answer 4

The instinct for survival.  It is there from the start.  In most of us, it lasts a lifetime.  Lives that become corrupt or distorted may produce suicide, but without those factors any life will strive to sustain itself.  [Your limiting the choices to fear and laziness restricts the original question unnecessarily.]

Answer 5

Love, hate and fear. They are all tied up together, it's impossible to separate them and say that one is more universal than the other.  

Answer 6

The need to be loved. What someone said about money could be paraphrased for love: Love is the root of half the sorrow in this world; lack of love, the root of the other half.

Answer 7

Their body parts

Answer 8

They both are pretty much ubiquitous.
