Quote by Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Where the fear is, happiness is not.

Where the fear is, happiness is not.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear and happiness are incompatible emotions. When fear dominates, it hinders the ability to experience true happiness. Fear often brings about anxiety, stress, and discomfort, which can overshadow any potential happiness or joy in life. On the other hand, when we free ourselves from fear and embrace courage, happiness becomes more accessible. By confronting and overcoming fears, we create space for genuine happiness and contentment to thrive.
