Line 5:
** So if you're sensitive, [[Schmuck Bait|beware that some things you can read here]] [[Go Mad From The Revelation|may be rather unsettling to you]]...
* Take a moment to consider the possibility that there is no afterlife. That there is no immortal soul to survive biological death. That means that beyond death, is [[Nothing Is Scarier|nothing]]. Absolute oblivion. And even if some sort of consciousness could be somehow retained, what would await anyone would be an ''eternal'' non-existence devoid of any feelings whatsoever.
** Or, if consciousness is like a film, it will stop at its very last "frame" and display it for eternity. Which means you'll be [[And I Must Scream|trapped in the last moment]] of your life forever. And that could well be a ''very painful'' moment.
* Instead of No Afterlife or Eternal bliss, imagine this: Consider that reincarnation is real. That means that we were all possibly someone else in a past life. What if Reincarnation doesn't obey the laws of time? That means we could very well reincarnate as a past historical figure, or that schmuck who got tortured and killed because he angered the king. Not horrifying enough for you? Then consider this final bit: If there is no limit on reincarnation, and we could all have been someone else, then it's possible that there really is only one "soul" (i.e: we're all the same person, just in different lifetimes). All of those horrible things you hear, they happened to you at one point or another, and will likely happen again. Still not terrified? Whoever this soul is, he is probably completely alone in existence, and all of these lifetimes are just a really tragic way of escaping that loneliness, by creating duplicates of himself to talk to, to interact with, to love and to be loved. And that sad being...[[Tomato in the Mirror|is you]].
** Think for a minute. You can reincarnate as a different species. A dog. A paramecium. A plant. A shark. That had his fins cut off. You are both the person being cruel to animals and the animals being abused.
Line 224:
* Perhaps [[Older Than Dirt]] and the worst fear of every hypochondriac: You may have an uncurable deadly disease and you don't know (yet).
** Maybe you could have saved your life if you went to the doctor after that strange [insert some random trivial symptom here] yesterday - but as you ignored it, you're doomed now.
* You find vomit disgusting? Actually ''anything'' that you eat and drink gets turned into such vile-smelling goo once it enters your stomach. As soon as you eat your favorite meal, it becomes this. And later, after important nutrients have been extracted by your body, the remnants of your favorite meal are converted to, well, poo and urine. [[Captain Obvious|Self-explanatory]], but pretty disgusting when you really think about it.
** Forget about your stomach - digestion already begins in your ''mouth''. There's a reason why you start gagging after chewing on something for too long.
