"Our so-called involvement with reality really detaches us from reality.
Our preoccupations, goals, joys and sorrows, really detach us from the
ultimate reality which is the irreversible march toward oblivion.
Confinement is one of the worst punishments because it exposes you to
nothing but waiting. Intelligence becomes our enemy when it exposes us
to the truth and doesn't show us how to escape it. Therefore, the most
stupid weapon, courage, is our unique and ultimate weapon. Courage is
what makes us take care of our daily preoccupations as if they really
mattered. Courage is an arm for the so-called defeated as joy is an arm
for the so-called victorious. Buddhism, which tells us that all is
illusion, still doesn't explain what this knowledge is useful for.
Dress yourself in your courage as in a dirty shirt because there is no
clean one at your disposal. Courage is a virtue and faith exists to
justify the existence of virtues."
