“…. I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth…..” Matthew 25:25 KJV
Matthew 25:14 through 30 records a parable about the master of an estate who gave each of his servants a sum of money to invest for him. One man got five talents, the second man received two talents, and the third man one talent. The servants with two and five talents turned a respectable profit, while the man with one talent told his master, “I was afraid, and…hid your talent in the earth…”. One of the major lessons in this story is that fear makes you unproductive!
