Long time ago, someone had the courage to avoid decoys and told us a story:

'I'm afraid!' said Zusha. 'Because when I get to heaven, I know God's not going to ask me, 'Why weren't you more like Moses?' or 'Why weren't you more like King David?' But I'm afraid that God will ask, 'Zusha, why weren't you more like Zusha?' And then what will I say?!'

From the Chassidic tradition
