Summary

This quote suggests that as a person accumulates more wealth, their fear of death also intensifies. The reason behind this correlation might lie in the heightened value placed on material possessions and the fear of losing them. Wealth can provide individuals with a sense of security and control over their lives, leading them to become more attached to their possessions. Consequently, the fear of death may escalate as they contemplate losing all they have worked hard to acquire. This quote highlights how our fears can be influenced by our attachment to worldly possessions.
