"恐怖は実在しない。恐怖が存在しうる唯一の場所は、私たちの未来に対する思考の中だけだ。それは私たちの想像の産物であり、現在存在しない、そして恐らく永遠に存在しないかもしれないものを恐れる原因となる。私を誤解しないでほしい、危険は非常にリアルだが、恐怖は想像上の産物である。"
— Will Smith
Simplified Meaning:
Fear comes from thinking about what might happen in the future. It's our mind imagining bad things that could happen, but often these things aren't happening right now and might never happen at all. For example, imagine you have a big test next week. You might start to feel very scared, thinking, "What if I fail?" But failing hasn't happened yet and might not happen. It's just your mind creating a scary picture of the future. However, if you actually see a car speeding towards you while you're walking, that's a real danger, and it makes sense to be afraid because it's happening right now, and you need to stay safe. Fear is only real in our minds, while true danger is something we can see and understand right in front of us. To use this idea in daily life, try to remember that many of the things you're worried about aren't real and might never happen. This can help you stay calm and focus on what's real and immediate.
