The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.”

I wanted to dedicate this entry to Bravery because it is seldom mentioned.

brav·er·y (brv-r, brvr)
n. pl. brav·er·ies
1. The condition or quality of being brave.
2. Splendor or magnificence; show.
3. Facing pain and fear with courage

I think that we lack bravery not because of the inability to be in such a state, but by the lack of situations, in the modern world, that require its presence. I feel we turn more to courage and confidance, which is likely, by definition, a synonym of bravery but lacks the honor and magnificence that bravery exudes when mastered.
