Osho said courage comes first and everything else comes after. Then sincerity disappears, when it’s hard to maintain it. Then love disappears, when circumstances conflict with him. Then trust disappears when someone fails us.
Actually, bravery can be a great principle, but the truth is that everything else doesn’t happen next, something always happens before. Something is fear, because few brave people exist without fear, without defeat, without indirectly assuming a defeat, which by chance can come exactly like cowards, so we can say that fear is the disguise of the brave on a cold night when doubts end. .
- “It is not the difficulty that prevents us from daring.
- Difficulties arise when we do not have the courage to act.
- -Arthur Shopenhauer-.
A fear that arises when we have to tell a friend that we have hurt him, that we were the only ones who once said wrong about him, that we were the ones who rushed to judge him, that we discouraged him when he told us this. I dream it excited him. The truth is that we had a hard time imagining it without the usual jokes, stripping it of its most common flaws and thinking it could work so hard. He had failed so many times that we stop giving him opportunities in the face of reality.
A fear that arises when someone changes the frequency with which our heart beats. Burning butterflies that drown words that can’t get out of our mouths. In our statement, inadvertently, we always put some of our pride and try to get the best out of us. We imagine the situation a thousand times and we do not want, for nothing in the world, that what flies and is born from our bowels ends up on the ground and nowhere else is there a declaration of love, in which hope, and supplication is confused in this way.
A fear that arises when we are betrayed, does someone who walked beside us disappear and take many lists that we made together, and even the ones we made?At our own risk. It goes away and leaves us partially naked, because every paper we’ve been writing about since then seems to become opaque to believe what we write and we say no, a thousand times we don’t, angry, because we don’t want to go back. Until I fall immediately. Boredom and apathy may reign there, but at least they mask pain better than a dose of gin at two in the morning.
The woman who tells her friend that she is now in a position she never imagined is shaking, which began as a threat accompanied by a sinister smile, is now a collection of blows that form a dark hole through which more and more rays of light pass.
Now it’s like this new woman with a face made of punches, from which she has always distanced herself because she did not want to accept that one day she could face the same situation, at the same time she feels that she has betrayed everyone around her, one by one, so that they would not discover the reason for her insomnia. All this out of love, he had already swallowed his body and was about to strangle his soul.
The child speaks, looks at the ground, because he finds it difficult to put words in situations that transcend him, he doesn’t know what he did to trip his teammates, kick his backpack or fill his sandbag. words to tell adults that the child they love is a sad child living amid threats.
The woman who has to go home is crying and explains to her family that she has just been fired, he also mourns her childhood friend who has been looking for work for two years and has only met people interested in taking advantage of her misfortune. to keep the savings he now manages for fear of it ending the next day. Tomorrow he and she will take to the streets with the program in hand, and little or nothing will be worth the experience, because it’s only for young people who don’t have it.
The truth is that we are surrounded by brave, quiet, kind and committed people. We are also surrounded by people who can be if we lend them our resources for a moment. Our time, our desire, our illusion, our voice or our words. . If we tell them we believe in them and we keep giving them opportunities.
Before courage is fear, and in the middle, between encouragement and attitude, there is intelligence, because most brave people, at least those who survive, have a touch of audacity, but they have even more intelligence, an intelligence that has nothing to do with it. Do with closing your eyes and diving into the pool, but with the opening to publicize these critical moments. At the same time, bravery allows creativity, the liberation of intuition and the reflection of messages flowing from our instincts.
Intelligent bravery is born of pride and a different view of fear, which does not lose respect, but changes sides, goes from being an enemy to an ally, a warning sign that marks where perhaps a warning should be issued. let’s say we’ll stop, but we’ll take a short break to reassess the situation.
Do brave and intelligent people populate the world, speaking, affirming, and nuring their faith in what others might think?And they do it simply because they think what they want is worth more than fear than the obstacle they anticipate can cause them.
