A fearful man is defeated by fear.
A courageous man acts in spite of it.
Without fear, courage cannot arise.
What use is courage to the fearless?
The cause of fear is the unknown.
Unknown outcomes, unknown realms …
Death is the great unknown.
The Truth is also unknown, therefore it is feared.
To seek Truth in earnest takes courage.
The way will pass through death.
The one who seeks it will not survive.
On this, the great masters are unanimous.
