From ‘The Amazing Spider-man: Family Ties’: <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Uncle Ben: Peter… you’ve never been in a fight in your entire life.
\nPeter: So. Have you?
\nUncle Ben: A few times.
\nPeter: Bet you were a regular Bruce Willis, huh? Kicking butt and taking names.
\nUncle Ben: I was a young idiot who learned the hard way that violence is a dead end.
\nPeter: What do you mean?
\nUncle Ben: Peter… these stories are for fun. A way for me to put my troubles aside and spend a few hours in fantasyland. But is the real world? The world we have to deal with every day? It’s nothing like what you see in the movies. Being a hero isn’t about punching someone or blowing up the bad guy. It isn’t about revenge – or who’s got the biggest muscles. It’s about putting other people first. About trying – even when you know… that you’re going to fail. Most of all it’s about doing the right thing – no matter what anyone else thinks.

\nComments:<\/strong> Advice totally in line with the heroic selfless Bodhisattva path!<\/p>\n

Peter: Aunt May… What’s fear?
\nAunt May: That’s a big question, Peter. Fear is a lot of things. Sometimes, it’s a protective mechanism that keeps us safe from danger. Other times, it paralyzes us – keeps us from moving ahead with our lives. People often feel fear for their lives, or for loved ones. Sometimes those fears are rational, sometimes not. It’s hard to face your fears… but sometimes, you must. Then, you can be at peace with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

If fears are unfounded, may they be vanquished well.
\nIf fears are not unfounded, may they be faced well.<\/p>\n
