When considering Kimball as a practitioner of Aristotle’s theory we then lay out all of the options. We are careful to choose the “mean” but also choose what has right amount of confidence and fear. If a human being exceeds fear or fearlessness then that is a clear sign that he or she shouldn’t be partaking in that action. The rate of either feeling shouldn’t be in surplus or discrepancy.
