Real courage is needed only when you fight the real battle, and the real battle is against yourself.
Not all problems are worth facing. Most problems you must totally avoid, even if that means that you will be called a coward by others.
Not all battles are worth fighting. In most situations of conflict, just bow down, just retreat, even if that means that you are not being hailed as a belligerent hero.
Fight only the right battle, and there you must not surrender; there you must never give up. Only this is courage.
