The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.

The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.

Summary

This quote suggests that a lack of bravery does not automatically equate to being a coward. It implies that blindly conforming to societal norms and expectations can also be seen as a form of lacking bravery. It proposes that true bravery resides in the ability to question and challenge established norms, to act independently and courageously, even if it means going against the majority. Conformity, in this perspective, is portrayed as the opposite of bravery as it represents a reluctance to take risks and embrace one's true convictions.
