"Fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all."
In my opinion this quote, to Jeff Johnson, meant that being afraid of something that is new or strange to you is the biggest fear there is. He knew that there was no point in being afraid of the fact that the mountain was unknown because that would make him a bigger coward than for any other reason. Being fully aware of everything you will encounter in life leaves no room for anticipation, suspence or excitement; fear is all of those things. So if you are aware of the unknown than there is no longer any fear.
This quote applies to me because i personally have always been afraid of things in which i am not aware or okay with the consequences. I am not much of a risk taker but moving forward in life and going to college and succeeding in the future will involve me having to take a lot of risks. If I am afraid to take those risks because they are unknown to me then I will end up failing due to my cowardliness.
