Summary
This quote suggests that the emotions we display often have a contagious effect on others. When we are angry, our anger can provoke more anger in others. Similarly, when we show fear, it can trigger fear in those around us. It implies that despite our intentions, our emotions have a powerful influence and can propagate a chain reaction. This serves as a reminder to be mindful of our own emotional states and their potential impact on others.
