Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear serves a purpose in motivating or cautioning individuals in certain situations. Fear can be a natural response to danger or uncertainty, prompting us to assess risks and take appropriate actions to ensure safety. However, cowardice, which implies a lack of bravery or willingness to face fear, has no value. It implies a refusal to confront challenges or to stand up for what is right. While fear can be functional, cowardice is seen as a negative trait that hinders personal growth and potentially undermines one's integrity.

He emerged out of the lake, the declining sun drenching him

He emerged out of the lake, the declining sun drenching him with aureate light, the droplets on his body iridescent in their beams. He walked confidently toward her, almost every inch of his sculptured body exposed in his black swimsuit. Each sharp contour of muscle glistened, each limb unfolded with lithe grace as he approached, his eyes riveted on her. Coral watched spellbound, a yearning surging up within her, eager and expectant. The air around them trembled with infinite anticipation.
