What kind of person can be considered strong? In my opinion, being a strong person means being able to forgive, having great willpower, being able to make the right decision in a difficult life situation. I believe that such qualities are inherent not only in humans, but also in animals. To confirm what has been said, let us turn to the text of L. N. Andreev.

Firstly, a dog named Kusaka can be called strong. Because she overcame her fears and was able, despite her doubts, to approach the person. Kusaka forgave the man for all the evil he had done to her. This is discussed in sentence 19.

Secondly, I want to give another example of a strong and strong-willed animal, a dog named Hachiko. A certain professor was given a puppy. The dog fell in love with his master very much and every day accompanied him to the station, and met him in the evening. But one day the professor died. They tried to accommodate Hachiko, but he still returned to the station and continued to look for a familiar face in the crowd.

The dog could not do otherwise, I think that for him to go to another person meant to betray his master, and until the last days of his life he continued to wait for him.

Thus, I realized that being strong, in the moral sense, can be not only a person, but also an animal.

Courage is one of the volitional and moral qualities, which includes self-control, courage, patience, perseverance and the ability to dare.

In ancient times, courage was considered one of the four basic, fundamental virtues.

This trait meant not only a brave character, but also the ability to control oneself in difficult situations.

Types of courage and their features

Courageous does not mean completely fearless: only a fool is not afraid of anything.

A strong-willed person should be endowed with wisdom, peace of mind, rational foresight and dignity. Moral strength helps the individual overcome the most terrible fear and begin to act contrary to it.

The forms in which courage is manifested are very different:

1. Readiness to counteract external enemy forces, the desire to fight the enemy, regardless of his numerical superiority and strength.

2. Courageously (that is, steadfastly, patiently) you can endure pain, suffering, loss, poverty, illness.

3. The Church considers courage to be an important component of faith.

4. The ability to renounce one's interests for the benefit of many. A person caring for a disabled relative has undoubted courage.

5. It takes a certain courage for children to endure humiliation and caustic jokes at school. Adults - to cope with the hostile mood of the environment.

A courageous person will not create panic in a dangerous and terrible situation: instead of screaming and wringing his hands, he will think and act soberly.

A story of courage: from honor to self-sacrifice

At all times, courage as a virtue was closely associated with the class of guards, warriors and knights. A clear parallel was drawn between this feature and the concepts of honor, dignity, fortitude and moral firmness.

Of course, the heroic quality was inherent only in the stronger sex and was repeatedly demonstrated (read - defended) at tournaments, competitions and fights.

American orator and military man Robert Ingersoll believed that the most severe test for courage is defeat.

If a person, after falling to the bottom and knowing the most powerful humiliation, does not lose his dignity, he can be rightfully considered courageous.

Aristotle argued that courage is expressed in the willingness to risk one's life (and even willingly give it up) for the sake of doing good. At the same time, the hero should not be afraid of death and must believe in the power of virtue.

It was from the ancient Greek philosopher that the association of masculinity with valiant behavior during the battle and exclusively with the stronger sex went.

Modern knights: men and women

Nietzsche believed that in modern times, when industrial values ​​took over society, and aristocratic impulses faded into the background.

The understanding of courage "turned pale", its significance was leveled. Moral fortitude has become optional for most citizens.

Some philosophers even began to consider this quality superfluous and “harmful to life”: after all, the fear of death is the best way to find compromises with enemy countries and, as a result, leads to a truce.

But Nietzsche hoped to the last that in time the ethical meaning of courage would be revived.

Today, despite the “brutal” root of the word, a lady can also be considered courageous, and philologists do not note any linguistic contradictions.

Yes, and there is no need: it is enough to recall what strength of character nurses and hospital employees had during the war. With what selfless diligence they nursed the wounded and pulled them out from under fire.

Imagine with what courage the wives left after the husbands objectionable to the state who were exiled to Siberia. With what pride and honor they endured the hardships of wartime, hunger and the poor.

Perhaps for the modern world this is a demonstration of courage in its original, virtuous sense?

Dear colleagues! Dear People!

Regardless, take a few minutes off. Read the article prepared Moscow Society of Naturalists, about a member of MOIP, about Dmitry Pavlenko. This guy, as a result of the tragedy, lost his arms and legs, but, thanks to his courage, he overcame the disease and began to live a full life. Dmitry, despite the absence of arms and legs, graduated from high school, learned to drive a car, work on a computer, and embroider icons. To do this, he developed his own technique, in which he held the needle with his teeth. He created a family, brings up two children, participates in competitions for the disabled, organized a public organization - the "Rehabilitation Center", which helps others like him.

Dmitry does not have arms and legs, but unlike many of us who have all this, he does not “cry”, does not complain about his unfortunate fate. The life of this guy is an example for many people, especially those who use alcohol, drugs and ... simply do nothing in this life, burn through what is given by nature, parents, and maybe ... and God.

I think that each of us has friends, acquaintances and just people who find it useful to read the story of the struggle for life.

Sincerely,
A.P. Sadchikov, Professor of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov,
Vice President of MOIP (http://www.moip.msu.ru)

People of the older generation remember well, every young person of that time had Boris Polevoy's desk book “The Tale of a Real Man”. She was with me too. Many years have passed, but I remember this book, I remember how it looked, I remember its content. Although it sounds a little pathetic, she was a guiding light for the young people of my generation, including me. No need for modern "ideologists" to find fault with my words. Each time, each era has its own guidelines, its own examples to follow. They helped young people find their way in life.

I will briefly talk about this story, because. I am sure that many modern young people are not even aware of its existence. After all, they are brought up on other examples, they have other idols.

Patriotic War. Air battle. The plane was shot down, crashed in the forest behind the front line. Pilot Alexei Meresyev was seriously wounded, his legs were broken. A courageous man crawls to the front line. 18 days - without water and food, in frost and cold. Frostbite of the feet. Partisans. Hospital. Leg amputation. Life has lost its meaning. Thoughts of leaving life began to come. Meeting with a wonderful person. He revived in the pilot the desire for life, the confidence that he could return to duty. An article about a Russian pilot of the First World War who, having lost his feet, continued to fly. Meresyev began to train on prostheses - he ran, jumped, danced. Terrible pains. Medical Commission. Meresyev insisted that he be sent to a training regiment. The courage of the pilot allowed him to continue flying, fighting, and beating the enemy.

The literary hero Alexei Meresyev had a prototype pilot Alexey Petrovich Maresyev. Due to a severe wound during the Great Patriotic War, both legs were amputated. However, despite the disability, the pilot returned to the sky, flying with prostheses. In total, during the war, he made 86 sorties, shot down 11 enemy aircraft: four before being wounded and seven after being wounded. For courage and courage he was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

A.P. Maresyev was a respected person, he lived a long and dignified life, not having lived only two days before his 85th birthday. He educated the younger generation by his example.

The book "The Tale of a Real Man" helped many people find themselves in difficult situations. I can say the same about myself. There were times when it was difficult for me, I took a book and held it in my hands. There was no point in reading, because. remembered its contents well. If a person without legs could fly, could live, be useful to society, why can't I solve my petty problems on my own.

Much later, I got my hands on a book by Dale Carnegie, where the author recommends that people who have lost self-confidence read the last page of the Sunday newspaper, where obituaries are printed. He advises to exchange with those who died, their problems. The dead, in his opinion, would gladly take all the problems of a disappointed person in exchange for a future life.

And now a story about another, already modern, courageous and strong man. His story is probably more dramatic than that of the famous pilot. He had arms, legs, he, although on prostheses, could still walk. But our hero has neither.

This man's name is Dmitry Pavlenko. While in the army, in military service, a tragedy happened. As a result of the explosion of a combat grenade, an 18-year-old boy was left without arms and legs. Imagine, a young man, whose life was just beginning, became a complete invalid, a burden for everyone, and, above all, for himself.

Life is over! This is for many, God forbid, find yourself in such a situation. But not for this guy. Despite suffering a severe injury, he began to live a full life. This is a perfect example of the struggle for life. Indeed, in his situation, every day of life is a struggle for life itself.

I am writing this for young people and all those who aimlessly burn through what is given by God, nature, parents. They burn through their health, their life, which is very short, despite the seeming long years. Many do not know where to put themselves. Hence alcohol, drugs, suicide, etc. They waste their meaningless lives in bars, nightclubs and just ... doing nothing. All this is a tragedy for relatives and friends, for society, and first of all for the person himself. Ultimately, such people become useless in later life.

I think Dmitry is ready to take on all the problems of humanity, just for one thing, just to play football, walk arm in arm with a girl down the street, pick up a hammer and hammer in a nail. In total, for the problems of all people!

Dmitry, despite the absence of arms and legs, went to study, graduated from high school, mastered such skills that, it would seem, are not compatible with his physical abilities - he learned to drive a car, work on a computer, embroider icons. To do this, he developed his own technique, in which he held the needle with his teeth. It was embroidery with teeth that was the occupation by which he proved to everyone and to himself something very important.

Dmitry graduated from a higher educational institution - the Moscow Institute of Economics, Politics and Law, Faculty of Psychology. The topic of his thesis Features of the psychological rehabilitation of wheelchair users”, a topic that is much more relevant than many candidate and doctoral dissertations. He writes in it about life, about survival on his own example. How to survive without arms or legs. Isn't this thesis a continuation of the well-known "The Tale of a Real Man"? He wrote his thesis, not realizing that it is a story about human survival in the most extreme conditions. Moreover, it is useful not only for the disabled, but also for healthy people who, for some reason, despaired of life or did not find themselves in it.

Dmitry organized " Rehabilitation center of Dmitry Pavlenko» in the Sverdlovsk region. Having passed a difficult path, he chose his own, no less difficult one - to help those who find themselves in a difficult situation. The motto of the Pavlenko Center is " Everything depends on you».

The activity of the "Dmitry Pavlenko Rehabilitation Center" is aimed at providing rehabilitation assistance to people affected by emergency events - war veterans, family members of those killed in the line of military duty, hostages, victims of terrorism, man-made, natural disasters, the disabled, including children with disabilities, other citizens who suffered as a result of trauma. A person, first of all, needs a convincing example of the behavior of another in a similar situation. The presence of a proper name in the name of the organization is a sign of personal, personal responsibility for the work carried out by the Center, for its quality and level. Dmitry maintains the functioning of his page on the website "Human WORLD", and is in correspondence with readers (http://www.mircheloveka.ru/node/5). By his personal example, he shows how one can get out of a psychological impasse.

In "The Tale of a Real Man" there was a man - a commissar who helped a desperate pilot. Dmitry also had (and still has) such a person. This is Valery Mikhailovich Mikhailovsky, a rehabilitation doctor. Now he is not so much Dmitry's doctor as a mentor and senior friend. They were introduced by a wonderful female teacher Lyudmila Alekseevna Korchagova, who, on her own initiative, visited hospitals where servicemen wounded in Chechnya were treated.

Dmitriy is given great moral support by his family - his parents and wife Olga, who is a certified social worker. She knows the problem of rehabilitation not theoretically, she lives by it. Dmitry and Olga had a daughter six years ago. And now the family has expanded even more - a little son has appeared. Dmitry and Olga take care of children with great parental tenderness and love. I think such a close-knit family is not afraid of any hardships.

Founder "Rehabilitation center of Dmitry Pavlenko" is an autonomous non-profit organization "Intersectoral Institute of Human Rehabilitation named after Professor M.S. Mikhailovsky" (Human WORLD), headed by V.M. Mikhailovsky. The "WORLD of Man" established and helped to organize several author's rehabilitation centers - in Moscow, the Moscow Region, the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Sverdlovsk Region (http://www.mircheloveka.ru/). All created centers "Peace of Man" are united by a common rehabilitation strategy developed by Mikhail Semenovich Mikhailovsky, who himself lost both legs at the front in 1941 at the age of 18, but, despite this, became a doctor, professor, president of the invalid sports federation. In his view, rehabilitation is the process of educating a creative socially useful person. This rehabilitation strategy unites the “Human WORLD” centers created in several regions of the Russian Federation to provide assistance to people who find themselves in difficult life situations. The son of M.S. Mikhailovsky, Valery Mikhailovich, developed the ideas of his father, made rehabilitation the main business of his life.

It is very difficult for a person who has received physical and psychological trauma to cope with it on their own. He needs the help of a rehabilitation doctor. The main task of a rehabilitator is to help this person survive the trauma, teach them to live in a new way. A rehabilitation doctor must revive a person to life, make the person himself want to change his fate.

Valery Mikhailovich did not just declare the ideas of rehabilitation. In 1990, in Zelenograd, he organized a non-governmental Center for the disabled and war veterans called the School of Rehabilitation, which provided free assistance to people for seven years. In 1998, this Center was reorganized into the state institution "Rehabilitation Center for the Social Adaptation of Disabled Persons and Participants in Hostilities" of the Department of Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow. Given that the framework of the state institution fettered the director's initiative, V.M. Mikhailovsky in 2004 organized the "Peace of Man", uniting people in a voluntary social movement aimed at supporting war veterans, the disabled, family members of fallen servicemen, developing rehabilitation, creating in Russia effective rehabilitation service.

Dmitry Pavlenko holds an annual marathon for wheelchair users, he himself participates in these competitions. He took part in the New York Marathon (photo), in the run on the Borodino field, in marathons in the Sverdlovsk region and other regions of the country. Marathons make it possible to draw public attention to the problems of people with disabilities, as well as to reveal their potential, demonstrate strength of mind and desire to be useful to society. Dmitry and his comrades, by personal example, convince people who have certain health limitations that the key to success lies precisely in oneself. Rehabilitation consists primarily in a personal desire to change the situation, in the willingness to work on oneself, to work, to overcome oneself and one's hardships.

Dmitry constantly takes part in the work of the Scientific and Practical Conference "Problems of Modern Rehabilitation", which is held annually on May 14 at the Rehabilitation Center in Zelenograd. There he talks about his successes and achievements. In 2013, it was already the 12th such conference. The work of this conference is inextricably linked with the name of Professor Mikhail Semenovich Mikhailovsky, who, in fact, is its main ideological inspirer.

The conferences are preceded by a Divine Liturgy at the Savior-Borodino convent, where the tomb of St. Mary of Borodino is located. It was on the Borodino field, thanks to the ascetic activity of Mother Superior Maria (in the world, Margarita Mikhailovna Tuchkova), that the process of rehabilitation of people who had lost their loved ones in the war of 1812 began to unfold. At that time, there were no ideas about post-traumatic stress disorder, about rehabilitation centers. But people after the war of 1812 suffered no less than modern veterans and family members of the victims. Margarita Mikhailovna helped everyone who turned to her for help, and the word of God, and prayer, and human participation, and a kind word. At the monastery, she created an almshouse, where she provided assistance to the disabled - participants in the Battle of Borodino.

V.M. Mikhailovsky believes that “the experience of the ascetic activity of Mother Superior Mary is the most important source for the development of national rehabilitation medicine, is of scientific and practical interest for the modern rehabilitation of war veterans and their families.” Therefore, they begin all their activities (conferences, marathons and other good deeds) after the Divine Liturgy at the tomb of Mother Superior Mary (see photo).

In 2012, the Presidium of the Moscow Society of Nature Testers established a Rehabilitology section within its structure. This section was organized on the initiative collective member of MOIP- Rehabilitation center "WORLD of Man" named after Professor M.S. Mikhailovsky and employees of the State Budgetary Institution of Moscow "Rehabilitation Center for Social Adaptation of Disabled Persons and Participants in Military Operations".

The Moscow Society of Naturalists is proud that such courageous and strong people are its members.

The activities of MOIP, organized in 1805, are surprisingly intertwined with the historical military events of 1812, the battle of Borodino. Many members of the MOIP, its presidents took part in the military events of that time. It is very symbolic that the section "Rehabilitology" appeared on the eve of the bicentenary of the celebration of the victory of the Patriotic War. The people who make up the section team have been striving for many years to create an effective model for the rehabilitation service for war veterans and the disabled. A significant part of this work is carried out on the Borodino field, where the Rehabilitation Center of the WORLD of Man "House of Fatherland Defenders" on the Borodino field was created by volunteers, including disabled people and war veterans.

In search of new forms and effective methods of rehabilitation, V.M. Mikhailovsky came to an interesting mass work that combines the possibilities of sports and group rehabilitation support, which was called the “Rehabilitation March”. For the first time, the Rehabilitation March-Run was carried out in Borodino on August 14, 2010 along the route of the Spaso-Borodino Monastery - the Rehabilitation Center "House of Defenders of the Fatherland" on the Borodino field. The length of the route is 5.5 km. 157 people took part in the first rehabilitation march, 254 people in the second, and about 400 people in the third (2012) (and this despite the heavy rain). See photo.

Everyone who is interested in the development of a rehabilitation service for war veterans and disabled people in Russia is invited to cooperate with MIR Man and Dmitry Pavlenko's Rehabilitation Center.

For my part, I appeal to journalists and writers with a request to write a story (story) about Dmitry Sergeevich Pavlenko, which would become a life guide for modern young people.

Anatoly Sadchikov,
Professor of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov,
Vice-President of the Moscow Society of Naturalists

Courageous people - the most definition of the heroes of our today's selection. They lived and almost died in circumstances that we are afraid to even think about. They fought wars, danced with death, performed acts of miraculous heroism, and survived to tell the tale.

Hugh Glass (Hugh Glass)

In 1823, while hunting game along the banks of the Grand River with his trapper friends, Glass came face to face with a grizzly bear and her cubs. Finding himself without his rifle at hand, he could not prevent the she-bear from almost tearing him to pieces. She left deep lacerations on his face, chest, arms and back. Surprisingly, Glass was able to scare her off with just a hunting knife. Unfortunately, they were in hostile Indian territory and Glass was so wounded that his fellow hunters had no choice but to cover his dying body and leave him behind. But Glass is not dead. He regained consciousness, straightened his broken leg, wrapped himself in a bear skin and crawled along the river bank. Glass had his hitches. At one point, he had to collect maggots from a rotting log to eat his dead flesh on his leg to avoid gangrene. He had to kill and eat snakes in order to support himself. However, after six weeks (six weeks!) he reached civilization, alive and in good health.

Simo Hayha

He was nicknamed "The White Death" (The White Death). Simo was a Finnish sniper who basically made life hell for Soviet soldiers during World War II. During the Finnish-Soviet War of 1939-40s, Simo helped fight off the Soviet invaders the only way he knew how, by firing at them from a distance. In just 100 days, Simo committed 505 murders, all of which were confirmed. The Russians, confused, sent snipers to counterattack and fired artillery at Simo, but they were unable to stop him. In the end, a Russian soldier shot Simo in the face. When they found him, Simo was in a coma and half of his cheek was missing, but he refused to die. He came to his senses and began to live a full life, breeding dogs and hunting moose. When asked how he learned to shoot so well, Simo said what is the most underrated thing in human history: "practice."

Samuel Whittemore

Whittemore was a true patriot and, like many others, he happily fought for his freedom against the British during the American Revolutionary War. The only difference between the rest of the men and Samuel was that Whittemore was 78 at the time. Prior to this, Whittemore had served as a private in the King George's War and assisted in the capture of Fort Louisburg in 1745. Some believe he also fought in the French and Indian War when he was 64. He also single-handedly killed three British soldiers in his fields with a rifle and his dueling pistol. For his efforts, he was shot in the face, stabbed with a bayonet, and left for dead. He refused to die and, in fact, made a full recovery and lived to the ripe old age of 98 when apparently God decided he didn't want to see a 150 year old man fight in the Civil War.

“Mad Jack” Churchill (“Mad Jack” Churchill)

John Churchill had a motto and that in itself is pretty cool because who has their own motto these days? In any case, Churchill said: "Any officer who starts a battle without his sword is not properly dressed." And "Mad Jack" supported his words with deeds. While the less brave used weapons, "Mad Jack" used a bow and arrow and a sword to kill the Nazis. That's right, he believed that firearms were made for cowards. "Mad Jack" is the only soldier in World War II who killed enemies with a bow and arrow. What is the fact that this guy took his bagpipes into battle, and once led a squad to an enemy position, playing on it, moreover, he was the only one who survived this battle! He also infiltrated Sicily and captured 42 soldiers and a mortar team. While most wanted the war to end, Churchill didn't, saying, "If it wasn't for those damned Yankees, we could have been at war for another ten years."

Bhanbhagta Gurung

The British awarded Bhanbhagta the Victoria Cross for his efforts in World War II. What did he do that was so special? Well, to start with, he saved his entire brigade from an enemy sniper by calmly standing up and shooting at him while his unit was under siege. He didn't stop there, rushing into an enemy trench to blow up the enemy with a grenade (without orders, and alone), then he jumped into the next trench (where we assume two Japanese soldiers were completely at a loss) and stabbed them to death with a bayonet. of death. Elated by his success, he cleared two more trenches, killing enemies with grenades and bayonets. Oh yeah, we forgot to mention that this was all happening under machine gun fire that came down on him and his comrades from a machine gun bunker. Bhanbhagta solved this problem too, he went from the trench to the bunker, jumping on the roof and throwing a grenade into the bunker. He then flew into the bunker and captured the last Japanese soldier.

Augustine of Aragon (Agustina of Aragon)

Augustine was on her way to the fort to deliver apples to Spanish soldiers during the Spanish War of Independence when she found them retreating amid a French attack. She ran forward and began to load the cannons, shaming the soldiers so much that they must have felt compelled to return to the fight. With her help, they fought off the French. She was eventually captured, but escaped and became the leader of a guerrilla unit. She even served as a battery commander in the Battle of Vitoria. People called her the Spanish Joan of Arc, and it was a well-deserved honor.

John Fairfax

When he was 9 years old, John Fairfax settled the dispute with a gun. He was expelled from the Boy Scouts for shooting another group with a firearm. At 13, he ran away from home to live as Tarzan in the Amazon jungle. When he was 20 years old, he decided to commit suicide - by being eaten by a jaguar! He took a pistol with him in case he changed his mind, which he did, and he subsequently shot and skinned the animal. He spent three years as a pirate after attempting to travel by bicycle and hitchhiking throughout South America. Then, eventually, he single-handedly rowed across the Atlantic Ocean and then the Pacific Ocean in tandem with a friend.

Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto was a sword-wielding saint, a Kensai warrior in Japan in the late 16th and early 17th century. He had his first fight when he was 13 years old. Apparently, he enjoyed fighting because he spent his life wandering the countryside and fighting people. At the end of his life, he took part and won more than 60 fights. He trained at Yoshioka-ryu (Yoshioka ryu), and then came back and destroyed it, apparently because he could do it. He once fought in a rather famous duel against Sasaki Kojiro, a famous sword master who used a two-handed sword. This did not seem to intimidate Miyamoto, as he defeated Sasaki with a small wooden staff he had carved on his way to the duel. Eventually, Miyamoto fell ill and retired to a cave where he died. He was found kneeling with a sword in his hands.

Dr. Leonid Rogozov

Dr. Leonid Rogozov was serving in the Antarctic in 1961 when he developed peritonitis. The nearest surgeon who could remove the appendix was over a thousand miles away, and a huge snowstorm was about to begin. If the appendix had not been removed soon, he would have died. With no other choice, he decided that the best thing to do would be to remove it himself. Rogozov used a mirror, some novocaine, a scalpel, and two untrained assistants to cut himself. It took him two hours and an iron will, but the appendectomy was successful. Rogozov was eventually awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor by the Soviet Union, because you owe something to the guy who cut himself open and took out the organ.

Adrian Carton de Wiart

You may think that you are a tough nut to crack, but compared to Adrian Carton di Wiart, any person will seem like a puddle of sticky human flesh. Adrian fought in three wars, including the Boer War, World War I, and of course World War II. He survived two plane crashes and received gunshot wounds to his head, face, abdomen, ankles, thighs, legs and ear. He was taken prisoner during World War II and managed to make five attempts to escape from a POW camp. He eventually succeeded when he dug a tunnel out of the prison and evaded capture for eight days by posing as an Italian peasant. Did we already say that he was 61 years old at that time, he did not speak Italian, he did not have one arm, and he wore an eye patch? Oh yeah, there's also the story of the doctors who refused to amputate Adrian's fingers, so he did the most logical thing and bit them off. After World War I, di Wiart wrote, "Frankly, I enjoyed the war." Can't be.

Add to favorites

Courage is a special quality of a person's personality and the ability to show Will, firmness, act decisively and confidently in extreme situations.

Manifestation and properties of Courage

In itself, Courage is a characteristic that combines a fairly large number of positive qualities of character.
A person with such a clearly manifested personality trait Courage has the following inalienable properties as part of this quality - Self-control, Fortitude, Endurance, Selflessness and a mature sense of one's Dignity.

The formula for courage is as follows:

Courage \u003d Self-control + Endurance + Fortitude + Selflessness + Dignity + Responsibility - Cowardice (minus)

Courage is based on life experience, established values ​​in society. Courage is needed always, everywhere and in everything. The first thing they remember when they say Courage is the fulfillment of their direct duties of protecting the Motherland and the state, but this is not always the case. The concept of Courage extends to other, simpler life situations. Courage refers to the ability to overcome one's own Fear, endure Suffering, including physical pain.

Only a reasonable, strong-willed, mature and holistic person can be courageous

True courage is expressed in calm self-control and in the imperturbable performance of one's duty, in spite of any disasters and dangers.

Courage says: "A fight averted is a fight won"
Once the commander asked the warrior: - What is most needed in battle? He replied: - Courage is needed! What about strength and weapons? Or have you forgotten about them? - asked the commander. “If there is no courage in the heart of a warrior, neither his strength nor his weapons will help him,” he replied.

Difference Between Courage and Courage

A courageous person is not only brave, but also prudent. Unlike courage, courage implies responsibility and reasonableness. Courage comes from reason and awareness, not from feelings. Unlike impulsive Courage, Courage turns off its own senses.

Courage is impulsive

A courageous person at the subconscious level, he taught himself to perform his duties qualitatively in any extreme conditions, he did not leave his feelings a single chance to be afraid, worry, doubt, and calmly does what is necessary.

Courage can be impulsive, it can come from fear. As an example, a child can be brave, and in the stubbornness of a child there is also will, but what is its quality? This courage is called a defensive reaction. This record of false Courage was made by our previous generations, for the self-defense of children.

Courage reveals the quality of accumulated will

Having developed a responsible, positive and constructive view of the world, courage confidently asserts: “I am responsible for everything that happens in my life”
A courageous person takes responsibility for his actions. He will not shift the blame to other people, circumstances, bad luck, karma, heredity or bad luck.

Thanks to the indomitable Will, perseverance, a Courageous person is able to overcome all difficulties, learn all the lessons that life offers me, and accept any challenge of fate.

Courage is cultivated day by day in stubborn resistance to difficulties. A courageous person knows that every problem has a solution. Only two criteria are important for courage, a bad scenario and a good scenario. Courage makes an analysis, makes a decision, takes steps.
Courage and the antagonist Cowardice, closely coexist with each other. What separates them is their Determination, which lies in the space between the fear of danger and the reaction to it.

Both courage and cowardice can be frightening, the first in the face of dangerous uncertainty. Courage forces itself to do what it must, and therefore is called courage.

Cowardice either did not have time, or could not or did not want to do it herself. Seconds later, everything that Cowardice was supposed to do will be forced to do by other people. Therefore, this state of indecision and fear is called Cowardice.

It is these moments, short moments of life, that put everything in its place, it is these moments that give shame to someone, dishonor to someone, and immortality to someone.

Courage is inherent in the qualities of character - Gentleness, Mercy, Generosity.

Courage is not an insensitive stone block, it usually goes along with gentleness of character, special sensitivity to the difficulties and troubles of other people and generosity.
