apprehension of non-being able to have the amenities of
life dissuades him from further activity. In the prime of
youth and pick of health he thinks about future diseases
and old age and in plenty he sees adjunct poverty. It is
human experience that most of our fears and
apprehensions do not materialise. In most cases, fear and
apprehension do not have a basis of its own. To nurture
and nourish it is the worst thing that can happen to man.
The greatest thing is to lead a fearless life and bravely face
adverse situations as and when they come.
