Countries fear that others will take advantage of them by either conquering them or trying to control their actions. I'd say they probably fear that they'd stop trading with them or stop giving them their support. I'd say that the biggest fear would be that another country would attack and try to take control of their country, which would mean war, in all likelihood. So, war is definitely a very major fear (death, too). The human mind is what drives these fears.
This is very relatable to human kind because we humans fear nearly everything; nature, war, heights. . . even other humans. Fear is a very dominating and controlling factor in our lives; from what we eat, how we dress, where we go, etc. To be honest, i don't really know whether i deal with my fear, so much as i simply ignore it. Not that i'm not afraid, but i try not to dwell on it more than necessary.
I can easily relate to Ikemefuna. I've never really been away from my family for more than a couple of days, and even then, i knew i could just call or text them. Ikemefuna probably still clings to the hope that he might see them again. Its far worse knowing that you'll never see them again. Its like a nightmare that you can never wake up from.
Nice blog! I totally agree that our fears are made up from what he comprehend in our mind. I don't know if I could ignore my fears like you can. I just try to resolve them before it's too late. Ikemefuna probably did keep his hope that he was going to go home.
