"Más a menudo nos asustamos que nos hacemos daño"
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Simplified Meaning:
People tend to feel scared more often than they actually get hurt. Imagine walking through a dark street at night. You might feel really nervous and think something bad might happen, but usually, you get home safe without any problems. This shows that our minds often worry about dangers that never really happen. This can apply to everyday life, like being afraid to try a new job because you're scared you might fail. Most times, when we finally try it, things turn out better than we expected. So, it’s important to remember that fear can hold us back more than actual pain or harm. Taking steps despite being afraid can help us grow and succeed.
