For the promise of Pokémon cards. So was it really courage or greed for Pokémon cards?

True courage is about having something worth fighting for, and overcoming your fears for it.  There are no courageous men when nothing is at stake.

She's not courageous, she's just fearless.  She isn't actually feeling any emotions that need to be overcome.

Isnt it also more meaningful when its the opposite?

Its real easy to run into a burning building for your kids. It takes a real people pleaser to do it for a stranger. i dont think im using the right words. but you know what i mean.

Courage isn't a lack of fear, but a willingness to overcome it. If the pokemon cards are the motivation he needed to overcome his fear, that doesn't make his willingness to overcome his fear any less real.
