Bruce Wayne didn't promise to himself to get rid of evil and end up being Gotham's protector if it weren't for his parents being murdered in cold blood by a criminal right in-front of him.

I think you can be wounded and scarred by not doing something, like in my example. I have been away from the altcoin scene for many years because my goal is to improve my bitcoin portfolio. Back in Nov/Dec when Polkadot was still trading at $5 a coin, I had half a grand at an exchange that I hadn't withdrawn for long-term storage yet. I thought about purchasing DOT for that amount but I changed my mind in the last minute. DOT is now worth $40 a coin and I missed a great opportunity thinking it's just another alt getting some temporary attention that will soon be gone. There is an example of how fear of being scarred and wounded causes you not to act on your instincts.
