Sublime to me is a feeling of elevation. It’s almost a surreal feeling where you have no control. Sublime plays a major part in our feelings and how we process things. Our brains separates fear from joy and real from imaginative scenarios and thought. Environment is what influences the fear and dark thoughts everyone has. This is what nightmares are made up of and what our minds process as frightening. From person to person this differentiates, but for example something commonly feared of is clowns. What creates this fear is the influence from an early age that clowns are a scary character. From comic books to horror movies they play this part that then influences our brain to think negative thoughts when anything related to clowns come to mind. These thoughts cannot be controlled, they come natural to the some and to other they don’t occur. Sometimes as we age we get over these fears or unfortunately grow them.  Another example would be animals, some people suffer from arachnophobia while others may love spiders. This is all in our heads and its different for everyone. Its utter torture for someone with arachnophobia to see a spider while people who do not suffer from this phobia may have them as pets. Sublime is a state of horror and what we relate to it. We differentiate everything differently due to environment and society from when we’re born to the end of our journey. It may not seem like a common topic but we all face this during our everyday life.
