This time my weblog is not going to talk about social responsibility, duty etc. I think you all must have been bored. This time it is about courage.
What is courage? Some say it is concealment of fear. If you can hide fear well then you are courageous and brave. Some say it is in the genes. Some say it is the way you are brought up. If you are brought up in a way so that you are never exposed to confrontations and even if you are confronted by a rowdy you are asked to stay away from him. Which one is true I am not sure.
Some go to the extent saying courage is of two kinds. One - the courage you show in life to overcome the various failures in life to succeed, which we call the strength of mind. Two - to fight back when somebody assaults you, the physical strength.
Some say the rowdies or bullies are hiding their fear of failure in life by trying to show courage by bossing over the others and showing that they are superior.
But whatever said courage is a combination of both physical and mental strength. Most of us can take failure in life in stride and be successful but how courageous are we when encountering a thief or dacoit or any anti social element.If they can sense fear in us we are dead but if we can instill fear in them then we win the battle. That is what happens when we are encountered by a thief or so as fear is instilled in us.
Therefore, I conclude that concealment of fear is courage and nothing more. As usual please feel free to comment and thanks for your patience.

Buddy if even the most coward of all beings has a knife or a gun and asks you to do something, no matter how courageous you are, you'll do as ordered.
This time it's wise judgement of being courageous for one last time or being courageous for the whole life time, whatever of it is left.
Therefore, I conclude...

Hi Vivek. While the article title reads "Courage, Bravery, Guts", the article discussed courage alone. What happened to bravery and Guts???
Also I think courage is the ability to face fears. Not to be able to hide them.
The only thing we need to fear is fear itself. ;)
It requires a lot of courage to read this article.
To write such useless things is requires guts.
and bravery awards for both the reader and the writer.

Hello Anonymous,
This is not a waste of time. This type of introspection is needed to perfect your life. This way I can get views of various people and help lead a better life. Anyway thanks for the comments.
Vivek,
There's a thin line between courage and stupidity; especially when it comes to physical courage.
Risking one's life and limb is something very few people do, because most people aren't all that stupid. Of course there will be exceptions which prove this rule. And when did concealment of fear become courage? It's like the funda that absence of hate is love and vice-versa. No way man....Courage has some element of aggresiveness in it (i don't mean violence)
Conclusion..none whatsoever...topic wide open.
hey vivek,
i disagree with u on one aspect.
courage is definitely not the combination of mental and physical strength.
I believe physical strength doesn't come into the picture.
Courage deals only with mental strength as far as i am concerned.
