muscular teenage boy passes by in gym shorts, a cut off t-shirt, tall Nike socks, and basketball shoes? Yet when a scrawny teenage boy with a sweater vest, Walmart jeans, glasses, and champion sneakers passes by does that same thought come to mind?

Close your eyes and imagine. Imagine a small boy wearing a small blue winter coat, standing, at the top of a peak reaching 14,114 ft into the sky. Now imagine that small boy peer over the edge of a cliff who knows how high. Imagine this boy seeing this and being afraid, being afraid he’d fall. Imagine that this fear prompted that little kid to lay down and stare over the edge of that cliff until the fears overtook him too much and he ran away from the deadly edge. Fears can come from anywhere,…
