Bravery does not mean that you have to flirt with Death,
It does not mean that you need to start a war.
Courage does not mean that you need to leap off a seven story building,
It does not mean you go straight to the arms of Death.
Having fear doesn't mean that you hide and fret,
It doesn't mean you’re scared.

To be brave means that you are ready to face your fears,
It means that you’re ready to feel the pain of life.
Courage means that you are not listening to what others think about you,
It means that you are ready for the harshness of living.
Having fears means that you care about your life,
It means that you care for your loved ones.
