Fear makes men believe the worst.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear has the ability to alter one's perception and thoughts, making them anticipate and believe the worst possible outcomes or scenarios.

Fear has the power to manipulate our perspective and instill doubt, creating a distorted reality where the worst-case scenarios seem more probable than they actually are. Therefore, this quote highlights how fear can influence our thoughts and shape our beliefs in a pessimistic way.
