It was a year or two ago I wrote in a song, "Bravery is the art of knowing when to say yes/but I never learned the art of saying no/cause the honor of being considered at all/is often enough to make me go..."
Now that idea has surfaced again, but I'm wondering if I was right: what is bravery? Is it the art of knowing when to say yes when it seems impossible, or when to say no, when you know you simply cannot do something? Is that redundant?
I'm starting to think that bravery might be the act of knowing when to say yes, but confidance is the art of knowing when to say no. Its having enough strength in who you are regardless of your actions that the ability to say no is independent of your view of yourself. It is understanding that you are you regardless of what you do. Now I'm rhyming, this is super. And then I got up and watched the rest of ER and totally forgot my train of thought, and thus it will end there.
