The article explores the concept of metaphysical fear as fearlonging for lost perfection, as the fear of losing the most precious thing in life, the person, the Homeland that we love. Fearhorror lowers the very density of being-time. Fear makes the hours stretch, while the metaphysical longing for the beautiful and the fear of losing it makes the hours and minutes fly by. As a result, the person himself acquires historical time, which becomes something more than a simple change of pace. Metaphysical fear makes space and time more elastic and unfixed, and is a prerequisite for varying movements, cultural and social development.
