Brave.

It is an adjective word that describe the mental or moral strength of an individual. Courage. Being ready to face any hindrance or danger. Ready to fight in every instance. This word is mostly used in heroic poetry or tales. You may find a person as a brave person if he fights really well or maybe if he make goods against the bad.

But, what does really brave means? Does it always have to be fighting against everything? Or letting go of something special may also make you brave? What do you think when you heard the word brave? Does it make you feel stronger and happy? Or feeling the pain but standing still is also being brave?

For children, maybe not being scared with insects or ghost stories makes them brave because they somehow think they are stronger than those. For some people, when you speak yourself in front of everyone despite of too many judgments that you might hear from them will make you brave for having a confidence to open up yourself.

There might be some who believes that bravery means being fearless. But, being brave or having a great courage does not always mean you don't fear anything. People who are brave can also feel the fear, they can also hide from everything. They can also let go anything even if it will hurt them even more. They are selfless. They protect others rather than themselves. Bravery does not always define yourself, sometimes giving up for other's sake will make you brave. Because giving up something is really hard for anyone. It isn't like a trash that can be thrown easily nor a glass that are vulnerable to be broken.

Brave people also cry. They are not always standing by themselves, shouting their bravery just like in movies or books. They can also feel hurt. But, some doesn't notice it. Because brave people hid themselves when they cry. Instead, they will stand and smile with everyone even if they feel hurt. Even if it breaks them apart. They will always be thoughtful and caring to everyone. They will not let you feel the sadness that they felt. They will handle all the emotions by themselves. Still, brave people are also a normal people. They can also be full of emotions that can explode anytime. They also need someone by their side because people are not always brave to carry everything. So, let us not take too much advantage to anyone because we may not know their real stories, we may not know what they can feel with our actions. Respect and show more love and care to everyone!
