There are groups of fear faced by human beings:
- fear of poverty,
- fear of criticism,
- fear of ill health,
- fear of loss of love,
- fear of old age and,
- fear of death.
It is not surprising that fear of poverty tops this heavy list:
“This fear paralyzes the faculty of reason,
destroys the faculty of imagination,
kills self-reliance,
undermines enthusiasm,
discourages initiative,
leads to uncertainty of purpose,
encourages procrastination and,
makes self-control an impossibility.”
