#courage #definition

nehaluck11 16 years ago

"The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery."

I know this is just a bookish defination to understand the meaning of Courage, but for me " Courage arises when you converts your NEED into WANT and WANT into DESIRE and ready to pay anything to get your desire fulfilled,come what may. So be courageous.

Ships are always safe at the shore, but they are not meant to be there. Courage is when you sail your ship through the tempest when you know risk is high, but self confidence is much higher.

  I absolutely agree with you.
  
  Courage can be a great thing
  but also can be dangerous,
  without the danger what is the
  point of mortality?

Courage is born of love and compassion; it seeks truth and justice because that is what steers the heart and guides it on its true course. Not an external principle adhered to out of blind loyalty.
