“It’s okay to be afraid, because you can’t be brave or courageous without fear. The idea of being courageous is that even though you’re scared, you just do the right thing anyway.”–Dave Chappelle

I agree that fear must be present for courage to exist. But disagree that when scared that we are prone to make correct decisions. When scared, at sundry times we rely on our emotions to render decisions as opposed to the grey matter.
Interesting thought, William! I think emotions are important, too. Thanks for sharing and commenting.
