In this chapter Eldredge finally tells us what our greatest fear is as if we don't already know or never have realized, he says that every mans greatest fear is to be found out. What exactly does he mean "found out"? well he gives us an example of a dream he had where he was on the stage in a full house and didn't know his lines or cues! We all have these dreams where we fear of being found out and discovered we aren't who we really are. Many men put on a facade or a face that isn't who they truly are, but who they want people to think they are because they don't know who they are! For example some men are caught up in sports and they have memorized players and their stats enough to be able to sit there and talk like they know them personally! Another example is men will buy big lifted trucks and get tattoos to make people think they are big and bad, but underneath they are all "girly men" as the Governator put it and many times are more so than your average joe. This is just something to think about... how do we perceive ourselves? how do we act differently? who are we really?
