Okay. I'm going to have to give you some background for this one, and it may not be 100% correct because I'm going from memory. But it's the best.
In October of 2002, Chechnyan rebels took over a crowded theatre. A muscial was scheduled for that night, so there were people of all ages there. The rebels exchanged threats with the authorities, and let some people go over time. They also shot people to prove they were serious. The prisoners were held for more than two days... toward the end most of them were convinced that their death was inevitable.
One of the survivors told of a young girl she was seated next to. The girl whispered to her, "I'm scared. How do I know what will happen to me when I die? I don't want to be alone."
The survivor said, "Don't worry. See? I'm holding your hand. And I'm not letting go. No matter what happens to us, we're going there TOGETHER..."

courage is not the abcense of fear, true courage is being scared to death, but saddling up and riding in anyway.
