Some things are better than others,we should have preferences that lead us into one future over another. But, there is always a but,
when those preference drive us too hard and too fast because we have overrated the difference between thses futures, we are at risk.

When our ambition is bounded, it leads us to work joyfully. When our ambition is unbounded , it leads us to lie, to cheat, to steal to hurt others, to sacrifice things of real value. When our fears are bounded, we are prudent , we are cautions , we are thoughtful.

When our fears are unbounded and overblown, we are reckless , and we are cowardly.
