The Fool and Strength

Fearlessness beside mastered fear, which the tradition treats as an important distinction rather than a fine one. Strength has met the animal and holds its jaw gently; The Fool has not met it yet. The pair reads as the difference between not being afraid and having stopped being afraid.

Associated with patience that has been learned meeting an openness that has never been tested. The pair is kind about both and clear that they are not the same thing.

Read for a bold move by somebody with no scars, alongside somebody whose calm is the product of previous ones. Both are useful and they fail differently.

Untested nerve is worth something and it is not the same as composure. Do not spend the first as though it were the second.
