About This Quote
Fear tends to come from ignorance. Once I knew what the problem was, it was just a problem, nothing to fear. This is true. Fear can be overcome when we know what the problem is and can take steps to overcome it.
The only reason we fear something in the first place is because we don’t know about its existence. Knowing about something doesn’t make it disappear; it merely gives us the tools to handle it.
