What Makes a Muskrat Guard his Musk?

Concerning the virtue “courage” the target is to be brave. There are two extremes, one way results in being rash while the other way toward cowardice. The Celts are rumored to have no fear at all and people say they aren't affected by earthquakes or weather. There are those who we consider mad that have no fear. When a rational person is rash, it is usually because he is a coward that wants to appear courageous. They brag and tell everyone how they are going to conquer and defeat the enemy. But rash person is the first to run away when the battle gets hard. We can say a rash person is overconfident toward terrible things to make themselves look brave but really hasn't the capacity to face them.

Someone who is fearful of both the things he should and things he shouldn't is considered a coward. His lack of confidence will show up much sooner than a rash person. He doesn't try to hide it. A coward is a despairing type that is afraid of everything confrontational. 

The brave man has confidence and hope as his disposition. So we see three characteristics that concern courage, the coward, the rash and the brave. The first two fall short of the target while the brave person holds the correct position in between. A rash person is unreliable because he wishes for danger but runs when it comes. A brave person stands his ground but is quiet beforehand since he has nothing to prove.

Among things that cause confidence and fear, courage as will cause a person to do the right thing regardless of the circumstances. A brave person will do what is right and noble and doesn't care to impress anybody. He will fight to the death for a noble cause and doesn't try to escape from his troubles.
