Fear also creates a psychological perimeter in their minds which keeps them bound to their old ideas, thoughts and beliefs. They keep using the same faulty external conditioning which they were given as a child and follow it through out their lives. Their negative beliefs manifest a negative reality which reinforces their negative beliefs. They also see others living life the same way and this further reinforces their negative beliefs thus trapping them in a viscous cycle of negativity. Even if somebody has a new insight and tries to break free, it's a losing battle unless they let go of fear.
I agree with that. I think 99% of people don't understand what fear actually is and how much of a huge role in the results their experiencing it actually plays. At one point I use to look up at people who were considered tough, but now I look at those same people as being really insecure (along with others that look up at them). I think there is a huge misunderstanding of confidence and arrogance. They can be easily be perceived as being the same, whereas in reality they are complete opposites. All arrogant people are insecure (without exception), I don't care how many fights they've had, or how many times they've been to prison, the reason they did what they did was out of fear. A confident person on the other hand is a lot more secure in his/her self (that's not to say they don't have insecurities). They don't feel the need to prove themselves as they are happy with who they are - if they want to improve their results they look inwards (rather than trying to manipulate the external world).
