The Scariest and Most Wonderful

People often ask me what is the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me. I tell them instead the scariest thing I know. That there is a purpose to life and meaning. And that everything we do counts in the end. This is the scariest thing I know but also the most wonderful.

Dean Koontz in The Scariest Thing I Know from “Wilderness and Other Stories” audiobook

It can be very taunting to think that every action we take has consequences in the end run, but it can also be very beautiful to think that we influence everything around us. We have to remember this when we make choices in life, whether small or large.
