RE: He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat. - Napoleon Bonaparte

I don’t think fear is necessarily always a bad thing. It’s because of fear we are cautious. If we don’t fear drowning, we would never learn to swim. If we don’t fear poverty, we would never work. Fear I think sometimes pushes us to do better and be better. It helps us accomplish our goals. Even fear of failure, is motivation to succeed.

You raise some very good points, @anonymity5. I think the difference is between fear that paralyzes someone and they can't get anything done vs when we have more wisdom and caution. It sounds like what you're talking about is the prudent and wise caution before embarking on something fooling.

I greatly appreciate your comments. Thank you for stopping by.
