About This Quote

It is possible to fear something so much that you begin to see it as a threat to your survival. If you are fearful of loss, this will lead you to cut off all forms of relationships, be it with family or friends. The fear of loss has the potential to be so severe that you become afraid of even the idea of losing something. You no longer see yourself as a person with desires and dreams, but as a slave to those things. This can lead to great depression and even suicide.
