Baby Diary

When a small child is lifted from a high hill, he has only two options: "brave" or "cowardly." His parents yelled at him to "be brave". If you meet someone impatient, you may swear and make a frustrated ugly face. You should check it out, it takes place in a happy amusement park. Those children who are in a difficult situation are bound by chains called "courage".

This is fear...

It happened at water park this weekend. I am usually a thrill seeker and extreme sports happen to me. But this time I was facing a three-story waterslide, it was so dark! real. I looked inside and didn't find a ray of light. I am very afraid of dark. For a moment, fear crept up my spine. At noon, in direct sunlight, I broke out in a cold sweat. I heard someone complaining and coaxing me behind me and I saw mocking faces of my friends all around me. The voice said: "Okay, bolder!" I was put to death...

I almost cried when I came out of darkness. The trembling hands and shortness of breath told me how terrible it was. I spent whole day calming down... that's not what follows word "courage".

I started thinking about definition of courage. When I carry great fear within me, but only to fight for an unimportant thing, is that really courage? If so, then it is no longer positive, it is just fetters and oppression!

In a struggle of thought, I saw a man standing on a high platform, looking down, shaking his head, and descending steps in same way. I heard someone laugh. He used words "timid" and "cowardly". I suddenly laughed, laughing at slowness of these people. Only I, only I saw true courage.

Ignore chaotic voices around you, look clearly into your heart and do nothing against it. Don't you think it's bold?

When you're afraid, you have strength and state of mind to walk away calmly. Isn't that courage?

If a person can follow his heart without hesitation in a world of diverging opinions, then he can be called a courageous person.

Take your eyes off and look at yourself, friend, that's courage.
