Fear

Remember that it is only fear, and fear is the great crippler. As a result, much homage has been paid, throughout the course of human history, to what is perhaps the greatest antidote to fear, which is of course, courage. But courage is not so much a product of sheer bravery as it is the momentary absence of fear, the blind will to power. It is knowing which course of action is the most appropriate - regardless of personal welfare. Thus, it is the willful abandonment to whatever fate may be in store, in the face of what may seem like overwhelming odds, that makes even the meekest of men into giants, should the genuine need arise.
