When we’ve lost all and have nothing more to lose, when we’ve become desperate, when the last possible outcome is death or total destruction — then we might take the risk to fight.

To fight then means being open for all other outcomes. It’s being prepared to try all alternatives. It’s to become courageous. It’s bravery that emerges from ground-zero.
But although courage, it’s still causal, still depending on our desperation. It’s a desperate courage. Yet, real courage doesn’t depend on anything. It’s being courage. It’s being it because of knowing what it does.
But then … how can that come about?
You see, the outcome of our desperate courage can learn us something very important. It can show us that “taking the risk,” that “being open,” can give us a new world. New possibilities. Another world.
Then, courage can become our natural attitude. And with every new result, with every positive outcome, our faith and our knowledge, our knowing grows, until we reach absolutely certainty about “the way life works.”

When absolute certainty comes about — and you may call this absolute acceptance — it then “implodes.” It vanishes out of our consciousness, settling in, becoming our inherent nature. It becomes an intrinsic part of what we are. It becomes our being.
The courage to live is the courage to “let it all happen” without us interfering “in the process.” It’s the courage to stand with both feet on the ground without the help of “our background.”
It’s being vulnerable, open, ready to let come all in passing through the blank mirror of consciousness reflecting an always spontaneous answer that make things happen naturally and perfectly.
The courage to live is to live Life living it. It’s not something we do, it’s something we are.
