I don’t buy that story for one second. It’s such a cliché tough guy thing to say.
Tough Guys always get this wrong. Courage is not fearlessness. Fearlessness is easy- every depressed person has it. It’s the secret intoxicating power of depression that few people talk about.
Courage is feeling the fear and doing hard things anyway. The autistic person who has to make a phone call to the power company has courage. The woman who walks into an abortion clinic has courage. The father who works in a field illegally in another country to feed his family back home has courage.
