What is true courage? Jumping in front of a bullet? Marching into a battle without any doubt? No. This is an illusion created by men, true bravery is not a man who dares to jump into wars with other people. But it is a man who dares to go to war with himself, and truly discover who he is. Lao-Tzu once quoted ''A man with outer courage dares to die, a man with inner courage dares to live''. A man who marches into battle without any fear or plans. Is not brave, but foolish. Let go of the illusion of courage, and grasp the true meaning of courage, inner courage. Your head is like a city, with many streets and houses. And many will be scared to get lost and will not wander in it. But they forget the key factor. It is your neighborhood. You cannot get lost in something that is yours, deep inside you already know the way. Follow the signs and maps. Only when you have wandered far enough, and found your way back. You will truly know. Don't let the illusion of no control take control. Look at the map, and find your way back. I am not wise, nor smart. I know nothing, and yet that is why I know the most. Find your way and unlearn something everyday and then you will truly grasp the meaning of real true courage.
