I realized today that my fear of heights is ridiculous. Even my modified version that it isn’t so much the heights as the fall to earth that scares me. I realized that what I really have is a fear of the sudden stop at the other end.
This is actually justified by Physics. The Law of Inertia states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. It is that outside force that I am actually afraid of. Or in Star Wars terms I have a Vaderphobia…fear of the force.
