Summary

This quote suggests that those who intentionally scare or intimidate others are held captive by their own fear. By relying on terror as a means of control, they perceive potential threats from every corner and live in a constant state of anxiety. It implies that their actions are driven by their own apprehensions and insecurities, projecting their fear onto others as a defense mechanism. This quote serves as a reminder that the one who inflicts terror upon others is ultimately bound by their own internal fears, perpetuating a vicious cycle of fear and aggression.
