What is Bravery? What is Courage?

[gorvid]

Really.....
Has anyone here ever felt that they have witnessed or exhibited real bravery or courage?

( and..yes I know Courage is also an ale )

[Nick P]

someone facing death through illness.....thats courage to me...Richard Burns is my example

[gorvid]

Yes...I must admit to that being a (personal) angle that I felt as I began this thread...
Actually Nick its the Iraq thread currently raging that led me to think of this.

Bravery/Courage is a trait to anybody doing anything even thought they are scared out of their brains...

[anonymous-user]

"Doing something that frightens you and strength in the face of pain or grief" It says in the dictionary.

[lightstepper]

Bravery - doing something that scares you and would benefit others

Courage - Not being afraid to stand up for what you believe in.

I was thinking about what I had done that would meet these and started thinking about one situation that may have been both and what word would describe it. So I mixed them up and came up with the best word ever (ok top 100's)

Bra-rage

... maybe in top 1000's

I am currently reading "Symbol of Courage" by Max Arthur, about all the Victoria Cross winners, plenty of bravery and courage in there and what seems at times, from a non forces person, total and utter madness

Only a coward can be the greatest hero

I once answered "YES" to an ex girlfriend who asked me if the new dress she had bought made her ass look big! Now that is bravery
