Fear is the thought of admitted inferiority.

Fear is the thought of admitted inferiority.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear stems from the belief or acknowledgment of one's own inferiority. It proposes that when we feel afraid, it is because we perceive ourselves as lacking, lesser, or inadequate in comparison to someone or something else. Our anxieties and worries manifest when we allow the idea of our perceived deficiencies to dominate our thoughts. In this sense, fear becomes deeply rooted in our insecurities and the belief that we are not on par with others, ultimately influencing our choices, behaviors, and daily interactions.
