Yes one would unless one has lost all the courage. Lol. Isn’t it what I come to find on Hive?
Does it mean that you lost all courage? Not sure, how to read you here.
If it is the case that you lost courage and are unable to act within your direct environment where you lack the feeling of being embedded in a way you feel you need it, the only one who can find this courage is you.
It is impossible to find substitutes for the real world in a virtual world. You may have found on Hive a pleasant platform of intellectual exchange. But where you are unable to articulate and feel a similar community within your physical environment, it remains a poor substitute that holds the mind busy but remains there if no further deepening relationship takes place.
Are you really really certain about having a lack of community in your direct environment? What does community mean for you in your real life?
I have read that
"fear and courage as being deeply intertwined and that they rely on distinct perceptions: "the danger of the situation", "the worthiness of the cause", "and the perception of one's ability."
In my work as a social counsellor, I met a young woman from Afghanistan. She fled her country at the age of 16 and came to Germany. I asked her why. I thought she must have had a devastating life, thoroughly unhappy. But I was very surprised by her answer. She said that she had no desire to follow the traditions of her family. She had no desire to marry and live a life that was largely preordained. When I asked her how deep the conflict between her and her parents was, she surprised me again by saying that there was no hatred between them and that she could have somehow imagined this form of life. Nevertheless, she took a very high risk to leave not only her family but also her country illegally. She took the route through Turkey and Greece and almost froze to death in the mountains and drowned on the Greek coast. She came to my country with nothing but her life.
At least, in one of those three instances on courage she was very determined "The worthiness of the cause". While I had not perceived from her many signals of the "danger of the situation" from where she came. She made the impression that she also could have chosen to follow the traditions but she did not. In her special case I felt that she did not so much oppose something but more embraced the new and the unknown. She took a high risk on her "perception of her ability" in terms of climbing the mountains during freezing times and such but nevertheless she did it.
Do I mean that everyone who feels somehow trapped in his culture or environment shall be brave in the same way? No.
It just shows that the most of us do live a life full of compromises and low risk everyday life. That is nothing to condemn. Though it can be regretted.
To free yourself from certain restrictions this, in my notion, cannot be done without losing something. Which is a win on another side. But definiteley there is a price to it. So, in the same way, there is also a price to pay for adaptation, yes. One cannot have the cake and eat it, too, is the saying. You cannot stay in the comfort and safety of a given (community, culture) AND experience the freedom of the not yet arrived desired change.
