Courage is doing something you know you don't want to do.
Overcoming pain is a form of courage. Risking a crash is, too.
Climbing through a pack is more dangerous and more
difficult than just sitting back there and taking what
you're left.
It's hardly crawling up the sands of Omaha Beach on D-Day,
but it's in that general direction, semantically.
