Fear

RE: Fear
Misused hope, misused love, misused energy, strength, and will power are all evil.

But wisdom is to put everything it's proper place, and fear has it's place, as the top virtue from what I understand.

It is the greatest aspect of appreciation and it's height, to protect what it has, and hoping for increase while not caring if one would lose what is given, is crazy talk.

Fear is then also the height of intelligence, and the mark of great virtue.

Careless people who break others and themselves, don't fear to lose their souls or other souls.

That is almost the height of misguidance, but worse would be despair of good, while despairing of all that is bound to perish is a thrust from fear, and it's greatest weapon.

Everything has it's place, to despair of what has no meaning and no purpose, while holding on to what does have meaning and purpose, and everlasting gain, is the height of being loving and appreciating person to what has true value.
