Summary
Eddie had not only forgotten his friends, but he had forgotten how brave he truly was, and instead let his fear define who he would be. He forgot his courage and allowed other people to define him, too, let other people determine how he lived his life. And it was safe, staying in those lines, running the course others set for him for nearly thirty years.
In a way, throwing that spear had been a declaration. The decision to stop running away. He is so sick of doing it so much, for so long, and he is here to fight tooth and nail to live the way he wants to. With re-discovered valor. With the stubborn force of will he always had. Live the life he could have, at last.
He knows he may not actually get that chance any longer, but nevertheless he does not regret throwing that spear.
