Acharya Prashant explains that bravery is not about fighting random obstacles or arbitrary battles. True bravery lies in conquering the self and fighting for a real end, which is the annihilation of one's own ego. He clarifies that continuing a useless battle out of fear of how others perceive you is not courage, but rather a form of cowardice and egoistic clinging. If one is heading in the wrong direction, there is no valor in continuing; instead, giving up and retreating from trivial conflicts requires significant courage. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that not all problems are worth facing and most should be avoided. Courage is expressed as much in refusing to fight the wrong battle as it is in persisting in the right one. He advises being guarded against idiotic expressions of bravery and suggests that when an issue is trivial, one should feel no guilt in letting the other person win, as the matter itself holds no real value.
