Importance Of Courage In Life

Improved Essays
It takes a lot of courage to be honest with yourself. To look the truth deep into the eyes no matter how daunting it may be. There are times when we must look into our past so that we can feel good about it, so that we can observe the past with a mild wonder and a calm attitude.

Realising what lies beneath your conscious self is the toughest thing. Introspection requires an uncorrupt mind and a lot of guts, it's really hard, but if you are able to find what you were looking for, life becomes easier.

It was 2nd of July, before that we traversed the journey of us being relative to somewhat good friends. Something happened that day, may be you were vulnerable, may be we both were drunk, may be I was disturbed because you were not content, endless possibilities( including my feelings for you which no one believes!) Things changed after that and that also drastically. I proposed, you declined, I reasoned, you were firm, I left with a heavy heart. You had your reasons - related to your past relationship as well as my past ( Tanu). Than there were family issues. All genuine concerns, may be what I explained you about Tanu was not logical, and it's understandable because its not what you are inside, but what you do that defines you! I was blank and lost for the next few days, approached you again, things got moving with endless obstacles ( bhaiya bhabhi, my family, my Exam, your uncertainty). You know everything that happened after that, so no point repeating that. Life was great, everything was going with the speed of a bullet train, suddenly one morning it derailed! Just like that. May be that is what happens when you drive bullet trains on Indian tracks. Than there was delhi and obviously cyber hub Gurgaon, I behaved immaturely and misbehaved. I shouldn't have. Sorry for that! May be some people are never insane except on the occasions when their heart was touched. Life has changed so much, we used to talk for hours, now we hardly message each other. Gradually we both will be lost in our lives and may be will meet at some family gathering. May be sometimes we ( or may be I only ) will peep into each others fb albums as how are we doing in our lives. My Love, care , respect for you means nothing. Life is ruthless. These 2 months were one of the happiest of my life despite all the ups and downs.

The journey of you being shweta to Panda to Kashaf to maybe Shweta again was beautiful. We must remember that all the happiness has a rider attached to it: it ends, So does all the sadness! Sometimes I feel like these drags in life are like the drags of a Marlboro after 2 pegs of daaru, without them drinking is not worth it, same goes with life. We realise the importance of something only when we are being deprived of that something. …show more content…
I have observed a constant guilt in you all the time we used to talk. Being a witness of that guilt, I can assure you that your feelings for Aayush are pure and genuine, but the greater the love, the greater the tragedy when its over! Don't let this apply to you. Things as trivial as some stupid baba doesn't sanction your relationship should not be the reason of your lifelong regret. So make up your mind ( if you haven't already) , identity your emotions, and if you think its worth it, by all means go for it. Remember if its worth it, it won't be easy. There are far too many ordinary things in our ordinary life, love shouldn't be one of them. Of course the people you love and care about deserve your honesty, sincerity and commitment. But at the same time you are deserving as well, you are deserving of the honesty you give to others. You are deserving of the peace that comes with love. So once in a while also think about the commitment and sincerity you deserve. Ask Aayush to honour the commitment that he made to you and put in sincere efforts . If he can't convince his own parents than he shouldn't have made the commitment

    Michael McMillan once said ”, You can not start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.” It is because I agree that we tend to continue to look back at the past instead of focusing on the present. I agree with Mr. McMillan. Mr. Mcmillan shows that we will never be able to contain or control our lives if we refuse to move on. In the book This Is Just My Face by Gabourey Sidibe, Mrs. Sidibe shows that no matter how hard we would like to erase the past.…

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can become a harrowing mental illness that serves as an obstacle to the future, causing its victims to relive their trauma time and time again. In Tim O’Brien’s “Speaking of Courage,” the cyclical nature of PTSD is embodied in symbolism that is used throughout the text to portray Norman’s constant struggle to reconnect with society after serving in the Vietnam War. Norman’s story of isolation demonstrates a universal struggle of war veterans in their quest to reintegrate with the society they fought so hard to protect; this is an especially important message for author and veteran O’Brien to express, as the text was published when PTSD was first professionally recognised as a mental illness. As such, the…

Courage helps humans through periods of inevitable difficulties during one’s life, requiring one to stand firmly and face challenges head on. In return, this nurtures and builds personal morality.

    1. I definitely agree with the Packer’s statement that Introspection was never taught to us as children. In my own experience, I have tried introspecting through meditation. I find that an hour of meditation gives me the necessary strength to deal with my emotional turmoil, which is something that Packer recommends when he says, “Introspection is a cognitive, intellectual process directed inward, focusing on and identifying the internal processes of one’s consciousness.” (Packer, 3) I feel that meditation on one’s own acts and contemplating on the same brings about the same effect as recommended by Packer.…

    I was placed in a situation at a former employer not to long ago which questioned my intellectual courage. I have been a firefighter paramedic for over twenty six years,happily married with two young children and worked with both male and female partners of all races and sexual orientations without major issues until recently. A former employer wanted me to work and sleep alone in a out lying small station with another woman for twenty four hours. This situation may sound nice to some but to allow me to put this in perspective for example the sleeping quarters consisted a eight foot wide and eight foot long bedroom with two twin beds and a small desk. These close quarters meant that if not careful we could literally bump into one another simply by getting out of bed.…

    It's better to take the risks to make life more fun in ways you can't think of. If we didn't take risks in life we wouldn’t have any fun and we wouldn't have any inventions and the world would be in stone age again, But we did take risks and now we are venturing into the future. I know that if we didn't take risks our world would be safer, but the people that took a risk made history like Thomas Edison who made the first light bulb. It is better to take risks and make mistakes because you can learn from your mistakes, you can achieve more, and you can learn about what you like and dislike. First, its good for taking risk is because we can learn from our mistakes.…
