The type of guy who used to get beat up in school for his lunch money. I've met many people who believed themselves to be brave. But real bravery involves putting yourself on the line, taking personal risk in a real life situation. Fake courage requires travel to a different location or the purchase of a motorized toy. It encourages posing by bravery wanna-be's.
Fake courage is as laughable as is any contrived attitude or act.
I'll email this woman friend after this column is published to my site. To tell her I miss her. And to tell her how much I respect and admire her courage. This week, let's all be brave.
