Let's just say I personally think the definition of heroism has become way too broad in our society. Could be wrong.

"courage is grace under pressure" Hemingway
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave. ~Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar, 1894
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters to Lucilius
