Hatonn's secret origin story

[Ashim]

Most SMC's are worried most about having been pussies in the past, and generally try to increase the heroism in future adventures.
Great courage = Big spiritual growth.

Did you ever see an early-90s Albert Brooks comedy called "Defending Your Life"?  It's actually a cute concept, with the core idea being that the cycle of reincarnation is specifically about learning to overcome one's fears while growing in self-awareness\empowerment.  Probably one of his more entertaining films, but it's largely forgotten.

One of my favorites. It was actually quite difficult to get hold of a hard copy a while ago. Very underrated bit of thoughtful fun.
The premise of the narrative was that fear is the biggest hurdle in spiritual growth. Quite true I think.
