About This Quote

When people are afraid they are sometimes cruel to other people. They are selfish because they don’t care about how other people feel. We are all afraid of something. When we think about the future, we worry about what might happen.

We may be afraid of not being able to pay our bills or not being able to meet the needs of our family. But when we are in danger, our fears can become much worse.
