Summary

This quote suggests that people are often more afraid of the disapproval or criticism of others than they are of dangerous physical threats. It highlights the deep-seated fear individuals have of facing the judgment and opinions of those around them. This fear drives people to conform and seek acceptance from society, sometimes to a greater extent than they fear actual life-threatening situations. It reflects the power of social acceptance and the significant influence it can wield over individuals' thoughts and actions.

I have told you that, no matter how many times you have refused to enter the sanctuary, you have only to knock and the door will be opened to you. I have said to you Ask and it shall be given you, but you refuse to believe in me. You think that someone is counting your sins, your moments of indecision or recalcitrance, but it is not true. You are the only one counting.I say to you brother, stop counting, stop making excuses, stop pretending that the door is locked. I am here at the threshold.

When you walk through, you too will be the door.http://www.paulferrini.com/html/door.html
