Courage

Courage (also called bravery, bravado or valor) is the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation. Physical courage is courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, death or threat of death, while moral courage is the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, discouragement, or personal loss.

In some traditions, fortitude holds approximately the same meaning. In the Western tradition, notable thoughts on courage have come from philosophers Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas and Kierkegaard; in the Eastern tradition, some thoughts on courage were offered by the Tao Te Ching. More recently, courage has been explored by the discipline of psychology.

Theories of courage

Western antiquity and the Middle Ages

Ancient Greece

There is a tradition moving back to Ancient Greek philosophy for counting courage or fortitude as one of the four cardinal virtues, along with prudence, justice, and temperance. ("Cardinal" in this sense means "pivotal"; it is one of the four cardinal virtues because to possess any virtue, a person must be able to sustain it in the face of difficulty.)

    Courage

    by: Fort Hope

    Since I've been facing the wind
    To claw back things I've lost in sin
    The cold won't embraces me again
    So I'll hold my breath and count to ten
    What about us, about us forgetting
    That it's all about us,
    About us regretting
    The song in our hearts
    When our hearts need to sing
    It's been months sing we stopped the rain
    Oh how my anchors get me through these waves
    Stay aligned it's time to be brave
    Can the anchors hold me through this change?
    Oh my god can you believe I'm here on my knees again
    I can't breath or barely hear through the crackling flames
    We exchange through the sparks caused by catalysts
    Fuelled by the desire within
    You can't stop this happening
    Since I've been facing the wind
    To claw back things I've lost in sin
    The cold won't embrace me again
    So I'll hold my breath and count to ten
    What about us, about us forgetting
    That it's all about us,
    About us regretting
    The song in our hearts
    When our hearts need to sing
    Because this is my life
    It's my life I'm no liar
    And now I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire
    I feel this unfamiliar melody
    Oh my god can you believe I'm here on my knees again
    I can't breath or barely hear through the crackling flames
    We exchange through the sparks caused by catalysts
    Fuelled by the desire within
    You can't stop this happening
    Since I've been facing the wind
    To claw back things I've lost in sin
    The cold won't embrace me again
    So I hold my breath and count to ten
    What about us about us forgetting
    That it's all about us about us regretting
    The song in our hearts
    When our hearts need to sing
    Don't you think
    This is my life it's my life I'm no liar
    Now I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire
    I feel this unfamiliar melody
    What about us about us forgetting
    That it's all about us about us regretting
    The song in our hearts
    When our hearts need to sing
    Don't you think
    This is my life it's my life I'm no liar
    Now I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire
    I feel this unfamiliar melody
