Summary

This quote suggests that true bravery lies not only in facing physical challenges, but also in having strong emotions and attachments to fight for. It argues that brave individuals are driven by their love, whether it be for their ideals, values, loved ones, or causes they believe in. Bravery is therefore seen as a result of strong affection and meaningful purposes that motivate individuals to confront both the struggles of everyday life and physical conflicts.
