He was in the middle of Nowhere.



And all he wanted was a quiet life of a farm dog ...:laughing:

i can face what i fear with more bravery, defiance, and impetuousness than that which i dread might come after...

thoughts?







We need to have the courage of our own convictions in my opinion, overcoming the fear of both what we are faced with and any consequences of our actions, to be too afraid to act achieves nothing. This is just my interpretation and thoughts.

You may have moral courage Tilly, which for me is more important than facing an enemy in battle.

Too many people turn a blind eye if you ask me.

Good thought!

"Courage isn't having the strength to go on--it is going on when you don't have the strength."

Having courage doesn't remove the feeling of dread from one's perceptions of what is and what may come. But moral conviction gives one the courage to do what must be done despite everything.

it's hard to navigate a boat on two rivers of no return

what if you did not have adequate courage yet?

time is of the essence




I failed to understand the 'underlying essence' of the 'bold & italicized' statement above. Could you please elaborate further (or) you may cite another example (whichever is 'convenient' for 'you')..:smile:


picture a winding water system...you are navigating the boat...it flows then forks repeatedly just near enough each other that you can see what's on the other side of the dividing island... in fact it even intersects at certain points, flowing the same general direction...until you reach one that forks so widely, they flow in opposite directions....





I regret to inform you that I still am unable to understand, Pansy. Please cite a mundane routine example (something closely connected to the daily life of an ordinary man) at your convenience..I'll certainly post my view, once I get to understand that example; the one you'll be citing..):smile:

Anything really...

Love vs obligation
Work vs family
Conviction vs convenience
Doing whats popular vs doing whats right

The actual events in life do not only affect and effect one's external reality, but also in one's internal self depending on how one interprets the events happening.

I think that is why some people find it hard to move away from their comfort zone, even if it keeps them from being a better version of themselves. Denial and a lack of courage.

Thank you, Pansy. Seems like I've understood the point you have been trying to explain to me..(finally):smile: I'll certainly write to you (my opinion), in due time..:smile:

Presently, it's 12:50 AM here in India, at the moment of this typing. I'll be leaving with this languid soul of mine, in this night of weariness, to be renewed with a fresher gladness of awakening..waving :smile:

Now Tilly, one mustn't keep using the word one to describe a person. It makes one sound very English and posh. ohwell

Did you know the Queen uses the word one quite often when speaking of one of her subjects.

Speaking of the queen...
How about some Churchill...

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

"When we were young, we start a relationship without much thought
but grieve deeply when it ends.
As we grow up, we learn to avoid hurting each other childishly
but we are also losing the courage that we once had."

I like the one when Lady Astor said to him

If I was married to you i'd put poison in your coffee

His reply, if I was your husband I'd drink it :smile:
