Ordinary men live in fear all the time. didn't you know that? we're afraid of the weather, we're afraid of powerful men, we're afraid of the night and the monsters that lurk in the dark, we're afraid of growing old and of dying. sometimes we're even afraid of living. ordinary men are afraid almost every minute of their lives.
