"A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears"

- Michel de Montaigne

About this Quote

The quote implies that if a person hesitates of experiencing pain or hardship, they are already experiencing the negative emotions and effects associated with that fear. For that reason, their worry ends up being self-fulfilling and they suffer although absolutely nothing has actually happened. Essentially, the fear of suffering causes suffering in itself.
