For Courage is stubborn and unyielding, and refuses to be used against Fear unless the decision maker is fully committed. Courage does not need to be reminded of the past mistakes or future complications, but already has weighed those against the forfeiture of future happiness. Courage is much stronger than Fear, but most of the times Fear is the chosen player.
