I feel that we are all deep-down, afraid. The variance comes from how we deal with that fear. We may have seek to have relationships with those we perceive as strong, for instinctual safety; we may turn to religion to give us a fundamental belief that gives us courage; we may turn to a violent, rebellious attitude to give us a feeling of safety; we may seek courage through friends, through family; we may construct a facade of strength to attempt to fool others, and ourselves, that we are not afraid; we may seek to avoid our fear through busyness; through driving ahead zealously.
Can such a person exist that has true courage within him/herself? To understand they are afraid- to truly face their fear, and have the true courage, a courage without a source but him/herself, to continue on? Is such a person possible?
Is the singular courageous person even possible, or must that person have an "external" source of their courage?
If the singular courageous person is possible, then what is required? A belief in something? A sense of purpose? A passionate desire for something? What is required to face our fear, and continue moving forward?
