I consider
myself more courageous than fearless, for the simple reason that in my opinion
courage is closely connected to intelligence, experience and self-confidence,
while being fearless is just an attitude based on nothing that can put you in
real trouble, but let me give an exposition of each adjective here:
Courageous
Is courage
an emotion? Plato explains this perseverance as being able to persevere
through all emotions, like suffering, pleasure, and fear. As a desirable
quality, courage is discussed broadly in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (I read it in Latin when
I was in High school),
where its opposite is cowardice and its excess is recklessness.
Courage is
“having strength in the face of pain or grief.” Courage is the ability to act
on one's beliefs despite danger or disapproval. Courage is also called daring,
audacity, boldness, grit, hardihood and heroism.
Fearless
Be fearless
means that no matter that everyone experiences fear, you must ask to yourself if
it’s part of being human. No matter how overwhelmed and paralyzed your fear is
making you feel, you can migrate into fearlessness.
Here's how
you can start overcoming fear:
· Be
aware of fear in your life. Before you can begin overcoming fear, you have to
admit that you are scared. ...
· Stare
at fearless people. ...
· Be
objective. ...
· Be
willing to look stupid. ...
· Become
confident in your achieving your goals (one by one)
· Seek
out teachers. ...
· Share.
...
· Embrace
struggle.
· Do decide
what’s most important or what you want most
This last
one is the same as in courage, because once you simply decide what it is that
you want or consider of paramount
importance at that time, nothing can stop you from focusing your body and
mind in the accomplishment of your (personal and only yours) goals.
Aside from
the exciting video above, I put here a picture of myself very many years Ago (I think I was 25) during a vacation in Corsica (French Island above Sardinia
in the Tirrenian Sea)
with few friends fully dedicated to scuba diving and underwater spearfishing.
That was a
time when my courage impressed very much all the participant to that vacation
and still today I’m impressing very much all who know about me and my struggle,
I actually have a friend who keeps telling me that every time he has a bad day
at work, he thinks of me and his mind immediately switches to positive, in fact
he thinks: ”why do I complain now if maybe I’m suffering -0.0000001% of what Carlo
has been suffering every day for the past 10 years?
He tells me
that all his pain and depression disappear immediately, replaced by an
injection of positivity and strength.
He tells me
too that if I could sell my strength and courage I’d be a billionaire already,
rather than worry that my conservator doesn’t steal my money thanks to his
ignorance and his (plenty) fuck
ups. To conclude I need to say that in my opinion these two words pretty much overlap each other and for me they don't count at all anymore, I was born courageous, my self confidence, intelligence and experience made me fearless and since in 2005 I died but came back to life, even death doesn't scare me anymore.
