I like the five ways of bringing forth bravery... but I'm not so sure about your definition of bravery. You defined bravery as: "A quality of spirit that enables you to face danger of pain without showing fear". I don't think showing fear diminishes bravery. I would define bravery as "persisting over danger despite fear". peace, Rick Nice start to the series.

Even with the example of facing someone with a gun at a distance, I don't think you have to be scared. The problem with not being scared is that sometimes other emotions such as pride and anger take over causing us to do very stupid things as mentioned. We should strive to make the most appropriate choice regardless of whether fear is present or not. I would just make one point about not being scared when you should be.
