Gazing at the Star

Bravery is what happens when self-loathing outweighs fear. When it would be more trying to look in the mirror one more day and see a coward than it would be to suffer the consequences which you fear, you take the risk. Cowardice is everything up until that point.

Sure, David beats Goliath, but David only shows up at the end of a long line of bloody messes that used to be guys about David’s size until they met Goliath. The key to victory, therefore, is not to try to be David, but to try to be Goliath. People seem to forget that it took a miracle for David to win.
