It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is much easier to feel brave or courageous when one is removed from the actual danger or challenge. When we are observing a situation from afar or not directly involved, our perception of what it takes to be brave may be distorted. True bravery requires facing risks, difficulties, or threats directly and taking action despite the potential consequences. This quote serves as a reminder to not underestimate the difficulty of being truly brave in the face of danger or adversity.
