Summary

This quote suggests that highly spiritual and courageous individuals often face the most intense tragedies and challenges life has to offer. Despite enduring such painful experiences, they still hold life in high regard. The reason behind this is that they recognize that life presents them with its strongest obstacles and weapons precisely because they are strong, resilient, and capable of facing these hardships. Thus, they choose to honor life and find meaning in the adversities they encounter.

I think human society for tens of thousands of years has sent young men out in small groups to do things that are necessary but very dangerous. And they've always gotten killed doing it.
