When a person makes a major decision, it's not about eliminating desire or escaping fear, but about seeing both at the same time.

Having only desire makes one impulsive; having only fear makes one retreat.
First let the emotions settle, then see clearly what you truly want and what you are afraid of.
People cannot see all the costs clearly, but they can see their own inner selves.
Understand desire, face fear, and accept the consequences.
