What does courage look like?

"Who wants to fight? Tired, tired, and risked death."

First listen, who would believe that this is a quote from Leonidas, the legendary warrior of Sparta?

.

But this is' Leonidas' in the version of the anime 'Great Battle of the Gods' (Record of Ragnarok).

.

It may not be 100% historical, but this version will help us understand the meaning of Courage.

.

Here are 12 stories from Ryan Holiday's book Courage is Calling, an agent of Stoics (Stoic) philosophy in this day and age.

.

I told it through the "Leonidas" version of "The Great Battle of the Gods." Who's afraid of being spoiled? Read, don't shed, haha.

.

.

1. 'Record of Ragnarok is a Netflix anime currently in Season 2, based on the manga of the same name.

.

This anime will be a match between the representatives of gods and humans. Which side wins the most will win this tournament?

.

.

2. Leonidas is based on King Leonidas I of the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta, who led 300 soldiers to fight against the army of the main Persian hundreds of thousands.

.

.

3. Sparta has a festival called Carneia, which is held to worship the sun god Apollo, and there is a rule: "No war" during this time.

.

But the problem is that the Persian army has arrived lately.

.

.

4. In the matter, Leonidas broke the iron rules and the elders' orders to fight.

.

Elder: "You can rush to turn your back on the gods. You want to fight that much?"

Leo: "Who wants to fight? Tired, tired, and risked death. Sipping wine is much more comfortable."

.

"But this is the time to fight!"

.

.

5. This is a good representation of the title of the book Courage is Calling (Call of Courage). We must be brave to do the right thing when the time comes.

.

"Courage is about standing up for yourself and for other."

"Courage is to stand up for ourselves and others."

.

.

6. Everyone thinks that if Leonidas chooses to follow the tradition and does not go out to battle, what will it be? Comment can tell. There is no wrong.

.

.

7.Courage = "courage" is one of the four virtues of Stoics philosophy (Wisdom, Courage, Justice, Self-Discipline).

.

.

8. Courage calls each of us' not the same '. It comes in different forms and times.

.

.

9. Choosing the path of 'courage' makes our lives meaningful.

.

Pursuing Leonidas' back was like walking in the path of courage. One of the warriors who followed him said, "For the first time, I felt alive."

.

.

10. It is simply impossible for us to deal with an enemy we ourselves do not know. The great enemy of courage is "fear" (fear).

.

"When fear is defined, it can be defeated."

"Knowing fear, you can destroy it."

.

For example, if we look at the depth with our eyes from the edge of the pool, we may be afraid of drowning, but when we measure the depth in numbers, we know that the waist itself is afraid for a long time, haha +

.

.

11. The brave "are not" those without fear, but those who "know" fear.

.

Courage calls on us to make us better people at every turn (better version)

.

"It's up to us how to respond to that incident."

.

.

12. It's a good idea that the writer gave Leonidas a match against the god "Apollo," whom humans would stop everything, even if the threat was coming.

.

Apollo. In this story, it's like a 'fear' agent that obscures the path of human guts.

.

.

If Leonidas had a voice in his head, he would have asked himself before he chose to go to battle, as in this book.

.

"If you don't do it now, when will you do it? If you don't, who will?"

"If not now, when? If not me, then who?"

.

Lost from the summary writing for a long time. The flooding of this big beach is very heavy. Many people announced the dissolution because they couldn't go on. Some who got up again dusted their body and walked again.

.

Although it is the 'end' of something, it is the 'beginning' of something new.

.

The old year passes, the new year comes in, along with the new, the new test, too, lives consciously, 'dares' who choose 'the good things' to themselves and others, and then 'the good things' come in.

.
