being brave
Apparently Aesop said:
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.
I wonder if it's also true that it's easy to be safe from a brave distance.
At any rate, getting down in the trenches and sloshing through the cold fear, that's brave.
And to do that, you have to know what you're fighting for when you're fighting, and what you're loving for when you're loving.
And to know that, you must first live, laugh, learn -- and then loving becomes as natural as breathing, and fighting is what you do when someone tries to take your love away.
