Are you brave or do you succumb to intimidation or fear of the unknown.

A wise man once said, “All you have to fear is fear itself”. Yeah that’s right!

I feel the fear...and then I try to face it.
@SW-User Bravery stares down fear and willing to die for the things that mean most to the brave.

@Watching I've not yet faced a situation where I've had to choose my life over my beliefs...but I believe in changeability of beliefs and not sure if I will lose my life to anything.

Bravery comes in so many forms. It comes in waking up when there is nothing to wake up for, it comes in going through the day because you won't give up, it comes in giving to another when your heart feels depleted....there are so many heroes being brave that no one recognises. Giving life sometimes looks easy.
@SW-User Not even trying to protect your loved ones?

@Watching Giving life for them will come easy. :) Living for them sometimes may be harder, no?
@SW-User when they are about to lose their lives is the point.

@Watching You're missing my point. This isn't even personally about me. Generally, so many people fight a battle every day to just exist, some even exist for their families.
If I was that person, existing helplessly, dying would be easy for me than living.

Even otherwise, I am happy in my life. I may die to save someone I love, but that is not my bravery, it is my selfishness not to have them harmed. I am not prepared to die for my beliefs.
@SW-User I fully got it m’dear.
