About This Quote
This quote is a great one that can be applied to life in general. It says that the greatest danger in life is not the one that you are most afraid of, but rather the one that puts on the inevitable wear of human flesh. This quote is about how to approach life with courage and conviction. If you are afraid of dying, then you are not facing the real danger of life, which is living.
If you are afraid to lose money, then you are not facing the real danger of life, which is losing. Of course, there are always some risks involved in everything we do, but they can be mitigated if we have the courage to face them. The idea that fear makes us feel safe is a total fallacy.
There is no security except in being active and taking risks.
