*“On the eve of battle, on a cold and windless night, an old general turned
to a young soldier. 'Tomorrow,' said the master, 'you will know Fear.' The
young soldier who had not yet experienced the agony of war looked at the
general with quizzical eyes. 'How will I know Fear if I do not know what it
looks like?' The general replied, 'You will know Fear because it speaks
very fast and it speaks very loud...' 'If that is how Fear acts,
recognizing it is easy.' But as the young soldier considered the general's
advice, she asked the question facing us now, 'Once I know Fear, how do I
defeat it?”*
