those who have known war 

say courage isn't going into battle without fear

courage is going into battle with the fear

you don't gain courage only when you heal yourself of fear

fear is natural in a state of war

there can be no winning of the battle without courage

and there can be no courage without fear

the very same could be said about

life and engagement and suffering

full engagement in life doesn't happen at a state of no suffering

full engagement happens by engaging life with the suffering

you don't gain full engagement in life only when you heal yourself of suffering

suffering is natural in a state of living

there can be no full life without engagement

and there can be no engagement without suffering

life/war   engagement/courage   suffering/fear
