Real courage is needed only when you fight a 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.
