i think this is definately true and i was going to say something along the lines of: fear is the underlying reason to every human response. be it laziness or what have you. the quote pretty much sums up my thoughts completely. it's so much easier to be lazy than try to go out and do something for yourself. it's so much easier to be a failure than to TRY to succeed. at least you are failing by choice, not because you tried and failed. and with that.. here's another quote:

the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. the person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing. he may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited freedom. only a person who risks is free.
