Hope.

Really what I needed today.

These few days I was getting really fearful of myself, scared.

In God of War III, Kratos overcame Zeus with his power which was given by Athena, otherwise known as Hope.

 Zeus was infected with the evil, Fear, and attempted to kill Kratos because he was afraid Kratos would kill him, just like he killed his own father Chronos.

 

Right there, Kratos overcame Fear with Hope.

 

Previously in God of War I, Kratos accidently killed his own family because he was blinded by hatred and desire for war.

He couldn't forgive himself and he was haunted by the guilt and memories every single day for 10 years.

 Nightmares and negative thoughts plagued him endlessly.

But throughout every single day of these 10 years, Hope kept him alive, despite being buried deep down in his soul by the guilt of him killing his own family.

 

But finally, he learnt to forgive himself during a fight with Zeus in God of War III and this helped to liberate the power of Hope inside of him, empowering him to kill Zeus.

 

To quote from pandora,"Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost".
