Fear is the apprehension of evil. We are afraid of evils of all kinds; poverty, abandonment, dishonor, disease, death. Dangers can be feared with more or less justification, just as those that are not really fearful can be feared indistinctly as very serious. These dissimilar faults must originate from either fearing what should not be feared, or fearing it in a different way from what should be feared.

The fear of giving a bad opinion of oneself or humiliation for a mistake committed. The flip side of fear is audacity. In this case, audacity originates from the accumulation of fear. The one who sins by excess of security in the presence of real dangers is called reckless.
