About This Quote

It is true that fear has its place in our lives, but when it is allowed to control us it can be dangerous. Fear can make us do things that are not in the best interest of the world, making for a less safe place. An example of this would be how people with fears of domestic terrorism have become more accepting of government surveillance and the loss of privacy in their lives. People are taking their rights for granted today because they are so fearful of what could happen if they didn’t.
