Summary

This quote suggests that a truly good person experiences fewer fears compared to those who are not morally upright. The reason being that a person with strong ethical principles fears only one thing, which is doing something wrong or immoral. However, someone who has conquered this fear by consistently choosing the morally right path can be burdened by numerous fears because they constantly recognize the consequences and potential harm of immoral actions. Ultimately, this quote highlights the importance of ethical behavior in reducing fear and cultivating a virtuous character.
