INTRODUCTION

COURAGE

what is courage is an abstract concept. Courage is the quality that can enable a person to perform an extraordinary deed, even if the person has fears or is fearful. Courage is the strength to overcome these fears. Courage is to consciously expose oneself to danger in order to achieve a certain goal that is in proportion to the risk, but this ratio is positive for the goal to be achieved. The definition of courage depends on the person in question and their situation in life, and above all on the circumstances. However, one should carefully distinguish between courage and recklessness. Some people see their deeds as brave, even though they represent recklessness.

A blatant example of this is a 17-year-old boy who sits down on the windowsill of an old building and sees this as courage. But in doing this, a high risk is taken without a specific goal being pursued. A typical example of courage, as is often exaggerated in Hollywood films, is person a who saves another person b from being run over by pulling person b out of the lane of a vehicle. This is a selfless act. It is therefore viewed by society as virtuous. Another example is when one person is physically attacked and another intervenes and tries to influence this in a positive way. For me personally, courage is a virtue that is indispensable in our society, but it is increasingly rare. At least one form of courage is less common. People are unwilling to take the risks of courageous deeds without taking advantage of the outcome.

Courage is the ability to do something without knowing the consequences of doing something. Courage does not always have to do with physical strength, but often with mental strength.

For example, a farmer is brave if he tills his field without knowing whether he will bring in a sufficient harvest. But he does it anyway. It has already been pointed out that caution is part of it. Good preparation is part of it. Starting a project that, objectively speaking, is doomed to failure is not brave, but at best foolhardy, at worst stupid.

It doesn't give a universal answer to what is brave. Then, when your conscience comes in and realizes that it is important to stand by your conscience even against peer pressure, then it is probably courageous to act as your conscience says.

Courage initially has nothing to do with a specific fear. A cliff diver is not necessarily brave when jumping 20 meters below the ground. Hopefully he did find out, if not he's an idiot. It's not brave to get involved in a fight, but brave to call the police and wait for them to come.

WHAT IS COURAGE

what is it actually: courage? The short answer is: a well-dosed mixture of fearfulness and recklessness.

You have to be a little afraid, because if you aren't afraid of anything or anyone - neither jumping into the water, nor of a new relationship nor of the last big battle - you may be intrepid. But he's not brave. As well as? What obstacle would he have to overcome, what risk would he have to take if he was not afraid?

Fear is not at odds with courage, it is part of it. But it must not get out of hand. When fear constricts our throats, we will not have the courage to resist or stand up for our values ​​and visions. We remain stuck in the old. Not because we want it that way - we often go on living unhappy - but because we can't help it. It is fear that paralyzes us and takes our courage away. Courage at least includes the ability to take a risk at all.

The brave one is not a daredevil, but one who weighs carefully. Is it worth the risk? Can I live with the consequences? Some say: the truly courageous among us will never hesitate. Because if you don't dare, you won't win. But would we actually call someone who leans headlong into the unknown and who - if he uses his mind - must know that he will fail, a brave man? Or not more of a hothead or even a fool? Sure, the risk that challenges our courage must not be calculated down to the last detail. Just as courage needs a bit of fearfulness, it also needs a healthy amount of carelessness.

DO WE HAVE TO BE COURAGE?

But maybe it is completely different and the brave one is not someone who is constantly weighing back and forth between fearfulness and recklessness. Instead, he does what he has to do - in a thoroughly moral sense - regardless of how high the risk is.

At least that is the conviction of many philosophers, including Aristotle. In their eyes, the reason for this is a simple one: being courageous is not just one characteristic among many, rather courage is a virtue. So, an attitude that we humans should strive for. The virtuous person immediately recognizes - without thinking too much about it - in which situations courage is required. The fact that he really acts accordingly and is actually brave is nothing unusual and does not make him a kind of excellence. The virtuous who are courageous simply do the right thing, says Aristotle. No more, but no less either.

That all sounds pretty sublime - and somehow strict: the brave as principled do-gooder. And yet: don't we often have precisely these morally virtuous people in view when we admire a person's courage?

We applaud the heroes of everyday life who oppose an angry mob of neo-Nazis, who rescue a dog from the floods, or who work selflessly for people who have been pushed to the edge of our society. Would we give them the same praise if they went heli-skiing at the weekend or free climbing Mount Everest instead? Or are they not the brave ones for us precisely because they do what is morally imperative and possibly risk life and limb? And conversely, do we not curse cowards precisely those people who ought to do the right thing but don't dare to do it - or who, worse still, simply sneak away?

If there is such a thing as moral courage, then the duty to be courageous is not far. It would probably be an imperative of the kind: You should be brave! The thought may be philosophically logical, but there is something strange about it. Because then the appeal to people to take all their courage together would no longer be an invitation, no more encouragement. This ‘Be brave’ would be simply a moral command, and being courageous would be nothing other than obedience. But someone who is brave is not simply someone who obeys. The brave is one who dares to do something - of his own free will.

COURAGE IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY AND FEAR

In this, however, the philosophers are probably right: Courage has a lot to do with standing up for values ​​against all odds. However, from these values ​​it is not possible to derive any universal duties that apply everywhere and for everyone. In any case, ethics is a bundle of perfect principles only in philosophy. In real life, on the other hand, morality has a lot more to do with the consequences of our actions, be it for us, for other people, for society and for nature. What is important and valuable to us here may vary from situation to situation. It has nothing to do with arbitrariness. Probably with the fact that we all have to ask ourselves again and again if we can really live our lives in accordance with our values.

Most of us know well what seems so abstract. We do not have the work that actually corresponds to our idea of ​​self-actualization; we do not live the relationship that satisfies our image of respectful love; we are not moving in an environment that fulfills our ideal of solidarity - and so much more. If such conflicts persist, we feel uncomfortable and sooner or later face the question: Can we change something? Is it in our hands at all, and if so, do we want the change? Are we ready to overcome these internal and external obstacles and to bear the consequences: the uncertainty about finding a new job, the times of loneliness without a partner or the social exclusion of those around me?

Do we really have the courage to do so?

Aristotle was convinced that courage can be a way to overcome those obstacles that prevent us from living well. In times of personal uncertainty or political scare tactics, this may be anything but easy. But if Aristotle is right, then it pays to be particularly courageous and to keep thinking about what is important and valuable to us. And to stand up for it with words and deeds - even if it is difficult and sometimes also wild and dangerous. Because in the end nothing less is at stake than: a happy life.
