Bro that was one of the most heroic things i have ever seen.

•

u/aladyoragentleman24 Jul 02 '26

I love heroes. Someone said, "Nobody is born a hero. People become heroes when they choose to be brave and do what's right."

•

u/Easy_Companyy Jul 02 '26

Right. I wish i was courageous too.

•

u/Superb_Wrangler201 Jul 02 '26

I like to remember that courage is the one attribute whereby faking it is the real thing. Putting on a strong front when youre actually afraid is the act of courage

Hey, I’m going by through some personal stuff right now and just want to let you know your comment helped me feel a little better.

u/StillARockstar5 Jul 02 '26

Bravery is not never being afraid, it is being afraid and doing it anyway. I hope things get better for you soon.

u/jizzmcskeet Jul 03 '26

I tell my kids, "you can't be brave if you aren't scared"

•

You give me hope for the future.

I learned this from Rugrats in like 1996. Youre a big brave dog, Chuckie. Go down that slide lil bro

And for god’s sake, blow your nose.

‘Courage is being SCARED TO DEATH, but saddling up anyway.’

“When you’re going through hell, keep going”

You’re gonna make it out the other side, friend.

•

u/ProbablyAPsyop Jul 03 '26

I’m very scared about the other side but I know I’ll get there. Thank you for caring about a stranger. You’re a good person.

Hang in there 🫶🏻

u/Huge_Acanthaceae2497 Jul 03 '26

You’re stronger than you believe.

•

u/maple_crowtoast Jul 03 '26

You've got this. The saying "it's always darkest just before dawn" used to give me a lot of hope (5yrs sober from heroin).

Things might be tough, but whatever it is, I know you've got it in you to overcome your obstacles, and that in and of itself is incredibly heroic.

u/Raginghangers Jul 04 '26

I hope your stuff gets easier!

“Can a man be brave if he’s afraid?”

“That’s the only time a man can be brave”

•

u/izuku_midoriya_yas Jul 06 '26

A Game of Thrones really had some good quotes

•

u/AssSpelunker69 Jul 03 '26

Bravery can only be practiced when you're afraid. A calm person cannot be brave because the challenge that requires it is not daunting enough to cause fear.

•

u/D0ct0rD1ck Jul 04 '26

One of my favourite quotes of all time is about this. In Legend, by David Gemmell; "By nature of definition only the coward is capable of the highest heroism"

•

u/Ornery-Customer8521 Jul 03 '26

Indeed, its not brave if you're not scared

•

u/ISKARION999 Jul 04 '26

I'm definitely adding that statement to my book 🙏

•

u/ClaudeScyther Jul 05 '26

Only when a man is afraid can he be brave

•

u/PauseConfident997 Jul 06 '26

Is it still courageous if your not scared to begin with? Or does that just become “normal” then…

•

u/SpotTron11 Jul 06 '26

Dude, I constantly get told how great of an actor I am, and yet i have never been able to do anything courageous or brave 😭
