What is courage?

Well the world is set up to benefit the straight white male. If you’re missing one of those qualities; you’re going to be marginalized and that’s not fair.

 

Courage is a full bottle of Scotch.

 

I am where I am in my life because I worked, I took risks, and I learned from my failures, not because something was simply handed to me because of what I was born as. If so, the government's over 22 years behind on such payments to me. So, if LGBT, minorities or women see themselves as born with a disadvantageous handicap (as the Left would want) rather than with every opportunity open to them (as I believe), then that's their choice, but don't blame my successes on my gender, orientation or the colour of my skin. You just can't.

 

I can and I am.

 

Nothing you can do about it, mate

 

Someone has clearly never looked into federal grants.

Not sure about that. The battle ground is the old one between vice and virtue going on within your own soul. If we focus too much on the surrounding culture, this can become an inner excuse as to why we are the way we are. Courage involves freedom involving in turn a self-determination which rises above the mass and creates its own culture.

Courage, resistance, freedom, faith, culture... revolution restoration.

 

So much for 'the world'.

 

Courage
Value-based action despite temptation


You understand the dangers, you feel the fear, and you find the courage to do the right thing. Strength and wisdom combine as you ward off temptation and act according to your values.
Definitions

1. Overcoming Fear
2. Grace under pressure (attributed to Ernest Hemingway)
3. Choosing self respect
4. Wise endurance (attributed to Laches)
5. Uncomplaining acceptance of unendurable conditions (attributed to Eisenhower)
6. Doing right despite the fright
7. Value-based action despite temptation.

A courageous person understands danger, and chooses to overcome their fearand proceed to face the danger and act according to their values. It is not fearlessness, recklessness, or rashness. It is a well considered, wise, and brave decision to behave constructively despite the fear, discomfort, or temptation. Courage is a strength drawn from a wise balance between the weaknesses of cowardice and recklessness. It is the discipline to act on wisely-chosen valuesrather than an impulse.

Because courage allows us to act on our values rather than our impulses, its virtue has long been recognized.

@noonoon Is what you've been doing in life (or online) different recently that's potentially triggering type of things?

 

And when Ceres lost her daughter she travelled far and wide in a melancholy spirit until she met an old woman by the name of Baulbo. To no avail this old spinster tried to cheer her up until finally, exhausting all else, she exposed herself, and lo! elicited a laugh.

 

THANKS. MY VALUES, BELIEFS, AND ACTIONS ARE FINALLY ALIGNED. EVEN IN THE FACE OF TEMPTATION AND ADVERSITY.

 

What was the first in your life?
PMO or very stressful circumstances?

 

Napoleon once said "COURAGE ISN'T STRENGTH TO GO ON IT IS TO GO ON WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE STRENGTH" this words means a lot you are right we are in a war with our own self with our desire and with our selfishness but we are courageous because we know that how many times we loose in nofap challenge but still trying we haven't became slaves to that bloody IMO according to my religion we have four systems which rule our life they are the body the mind the heart and the soul out of which lust covers the three systems namely the body the heart and the mind our enemy is pretty smart he wont attack you directly because he is a coward he provokes you through your body if it didn't work he enters your heart and tries to provoke your heart if u didn't then he covers your brain and disturbs your every work and thats the difficult part to control your temptation so my suggestion is not to concentrate on these 3 systems its better to concentrate on your soul which means dont just concentrate on material possession which satisfy your body but try to satisfy your soul which is eternal to destroy a pretty smart enemy you have to be smarter than him

 

For sure it's important to learn the strategies of the enemy. But imo we need to be more powerful than the enemy.

Don't forget: porn is a force we need to fight against.

 

I think courage is striving forward knowing full well you could fail.
