Half of bravery is perspective! Wow! What a powerful concept. The same could be said of fear or the lack of.
In Tris' life and situation it was a matter of overcoming fear as to not let it rule her or dictate how she lived her life. It was what she did with the fear that was important.

Fearless is a misused word for some people. To be fearless it means you fear nothing. Fear is normal and helps us make better decisions. To control one's fear is important because it will help us remain calm and alert in an otherwise irrational situation. To confuse the two might lead someone down a path of no return. Controlling your fears means putting it in a new perspective so that it doesn't control you. You may still be wary of something, and usually for a good reason, but you will find a way to work around that discomfort.

I so agree with you!hnardi8 wrote:I've always agreed that being brave doesn't mean you don't have fears. Being brave means you go on despite them. Which pretty much is what controlling your fears is. You control the fear, you don't let it control you. If you are fearless you aren't brave. You can't be brave if nothing scares you. And no, I don't think anyone can be fearless. There's something that gets everyone.
Except, I think it might be possible to be fearless but I think the only way is if they truly don't care about anyone, including them self. If you care about someone, you will always have a fear that something will happen to them!

Perspective for bravery, this I interpreted as things being dangerous/fear-worthy because you cannot see the complete picture.

Someone who is truly fearless could actually act foolishly in the face of danger.
That's right, I have a muse. It is spelled MusE. My writing is influenced by the interactions of people I meet - us and ME.
