The month of reckoning for the horrifying, spooky and uncanny is met by Terror Management Theory with nothing else contending–
perhaps the skookum quietus himself, but what is really scarier than
death?
TMT takes focus on the concept of thanatophobia, man’
s intense fear of
death and the decay of dying. It theories we as humans forego “enlightenment” of our lights snuffing at the cost of ignorance, as I
will soon forget– you
will too. Our minds veer from in aversion the notion of an inevitable death. So instead all we do is said as a means of escape, to groove ourselves out of our miserable ruts of death.
Therapist: “Hi Quietus! Today I’d like to introduce you to TMT,
maybe this could soothe your worries of
death”.
Quietus: *freaks out upon hearing
death, but manages himself*.
