Bravery is the quality or state of having or exhibiting courage. It is the ability to confront fear, pain, or adversity with resolve and fortitude. Bravery can manifest in various forms, from physical acts of heroism to emotional strength in the face of personal challenges. A brave individual often chooses to act according to their values or beliefs, even when it involves risk or discomfort. Ultimately, bravery is about taking action despite uncertainty, standing up for what is right, and supporting others in difficult times.
