The following poetic episode is a meaningful glimpse into the conclusion of my work in this area, and the beginning of an entirely new chapter. My dissertation explored the subject of hope and fear, and set me on a journey into many of my own hopes and fears as I dared to gaze inwards.
The above series of linked questions have occupied an increasing space in my mind since the concept, and central theme of ‘courage’ dropped out of my dissertation project on the road to completing my Masters in Applied Positive Psychology. Coker (2017) What is courage, when, where, why and how do we experience it? “Courage is a selfless madness which descends on us in a dichotomous haze where we see the ugliness of the outcome and yet choose to walk towards the beauty of the sacrifice”. For us to understand Courage, we must first arrive upon a clear definition, and understanding of the etymology, a breakdown of how, when, and why courage is evoked… It is often used interchangeably with bravery, and often misunderstood. Courage Is a word often used to describe an act despite the presence of fear.
