Fear
Everyone is controlled by fear. Whether it is imagined or actual, the fear is real to them and controls every aspect of their lives.
- Debby Shoun (a stage actress with a penchant for overstatement?)
I’ve been thinking a lot about the way fear impacts behavior. While I think this quote is definitely hyperbole, there seems to be, perhaps, an element of truth to it.
“Controlled” is such a strong word.
I think everyone experiences fear. Acknowledging it and moving forward through it means I’m not controlled by it. (I hope!)
