Well I figured I do another edition of My Views, mainly due to a topic that has bothered me lately.

Over the years both online and offline I like many of you have gone into many confrontations. Said many nasty things whether justified or not. And in terms of my offline life I came dangerously close to physically hurting people whether they deserved it or not. Yet, when I get tempted there's always something that stops me, whether it's common sense, my conscience, I don't know. Some people have praised me over it even telling me that I made a brave move walking away. But then there's the other side. People that say I should have given in regardless of what it would cost me. So it makes me wonder what are people's views on bravery.

Now I've already made badges over the subjects of fear and courage:

And while I stand by them. There is more to it than the badges. The badges merely simplify it. They don't tell each individual what makes them brave, merely give them guidelines on it.

In my view bravery is the following:

1. Having the courage to stand up for what you believe in, regardless of what others think of you.
2. The courage to decide which battles are worth fighting. A struggle I know all too well.
3. The courage to walk away lest you suffer the consequences of your actions.

Just to name a few. Those were put to the test for me today and while some flames are fanning, I passed most of it.

That said, what is your view on bravery. I'd like to know.
