Courage is simply the answer to pain, and it is the only way to win the "need" of existence.

There are all sorts of characteristics that God provided people: courage, honesty, greed, selfishness, compassion, hatred. A full deck of cards, and we have to choose which cards to play, and the ace which trumps all is courage, which wins the hand, and the hand is only sought because of what it is, and that is love.

And without that pot, you continue to play on and on, wishing to win one hand.
