A Life Filled With Fear is a Life Half Lived

I agree with the phrase 'a life filled with fear is a life half lived.' To live something is to be full of life, full of spirit, and not hesitant. One cannot be in such a state of mind if they feel unsafe or have a fear of life itself. If one has a fear of life they feel as though they have to take many precautions, if one has no fear then they live life 'to the fullest'. If the fear dominates the actions then obviously the person is not living their life the same way they would have if they didn't have many fears.
