Quote

When we’re afraid, we dream smaller dreams, speak less freely, cling tighter to “us,” and feel more fear and anger toward “them.” Because others are just as vulnerable to the power of fear as we are, our actions when frightened feel threatening to them, so they overreact, making us feel more afraid than ever.
