Thanks for pointing out. Even though I don't share your take on this, I find it interesting. I think the first example is just some innocent banter of a couple characters from long ago, who had a very naive understanding of the world because they couldn't begin to comprehend its true complexity. I think the second example is something any cool person would have done, because witches are awesome.

Don't you think that the world would be entirely different place without cowardice?

  Certainly. But I think the world would be a far better place without hatred than without cowardice. So hatred is much worse than cowardice. IMHO envy, fanaticism, cruelty also cause more harm than cowardice.

    I'm not sure about that. Absence of cowardice (also known as self-preservation) will severely limit what people allow to do to them. This includes limiting all the things that you listed as worse than cowardice. On the other hand, lack of fear will empower ideologies that employ suicide bombers. Also it will make nuclear wars much less unthinkable.
