Summary

This quote suggests that fear is not inherently powerful or controlling, but rather gains its strength from our own submission to it. It implies that if we allow fear to dominate our thoughts and actions, we give it power over us. On the other hand, if we choose not to empower fear and instead confront it or refuse to succumb to its influence, we can overcome its hold on us. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing our own agency in relation to fear and the need to face it with resilience and courage.
