Fear
I was flipping through some old notebooks and came across a really interesting quote. It stated," The fearless are merely fearless. People who act in spite of their fear are truly brave." ( James A. LaFond-Lewis ) It is impossible to believe someone is fearless. As a child I would look at my father or older brother and think," Wow, they aren't afraid of anything. " But now that I'm older I realize things are never what they seem. But within this quote it is saying that the people that have no fear are just fearless. This really stands for nothing and proves nothing. But those that do fear things, which consist of my father and brother, and still continue on to walk into what they fear makes them brave and it counts for something. Everyone has always has a fear; it's the action that you take towards that fear that makes you who you are or what kind of characteristic you have as a person.

Danielle, you bring up an interesting point. My grandmother always tells me that "the fearful will never show his fear and that's what makes him brave." This shows you that your brother and father fear of things but they are brave on the inside because you are not capable of seeing it. Bravery is not about being a hero or saving ones life; bravery is about not showing the fear within.
