I agree with what you say. (you shocked?). It's absolutely about facing fears. I do, however, think there are different levels of bravery (or courage) that are dependent on the level of danger. A soldier going over a hill knowing he is outnumbered and an 80+% chance of dying versus standing up to a bully are different,I filled my car with petrol. Doesn’t make me a mechanic!...
First of all, if you’re saying you went to Iraq as a soldier, then I thank you for your service. Much respect.
But being “brave” or “courageous” is not dependent on the level of danger you’re facing. It’s about facing your fears. It’s about stepping outside your comfort zone.
I don’t know if Caz’s thread is “brave” or not. But I also think your definition of “brave” is a little surface level.
I’ve never been to war. But when I was crook, I was given about 12 hours to live. I saw out that night, vomiting blood and literally shitting myself. Was I “brave”. I’m not sure, but I can tell you I was afraid.
I maintain Caz' thread was not brave. However, from snippets in PM's I can safely say she has been very brave before. And she absolutely has my respect for that.
