Courage.\n\nWe have to understand that it is a law of nature that for every action there is a reaction. Violence begets violence.\n\nWhile we might see chaos in the short term, we need to understand that we are doing harm and not good.\n\nWe need to be barve enough to understand we were wrong, we are not helping and admit it bravely and... pull out

My guess is that you're looking for information on "courtesy," which in medieval society refers to the whole wad of behaviors that we'd associate with being a member of court: politeness, knightliness, treating a lady nobly, etc.  I don't have my copy of the Tales with me, but I believe the Knight is praised in the General Prologue for his courtesy, which in his case simply means that he knows how to behave like a knight. You might think of it as the non-fighting aspect of chivalry.

I admire men who have good control over their impulses and demonstrate good charactert their strength is an attractive and admirable thing.  I think very little of women who have to resort to offering sexual favors to get what they want. Being smart, clever and respected is far more effective. (unless you are bribing your husband to take you to the ballet..that is an altogether different matter and great fun.)

as a happily married man , I'd say a combination of agressiveness and class.  By agressiveness I mean you shouldn't play coy and demure if you're interested in some dude as a possible mate.  By class I mean you won't be on Montel, or Jerry Springer any time soon, but will be at sports events,starbucks reading a book, and in general not hanging out in seedy places

I think fighting has a lot to do with psychology. If someone is bigger than you, you experiance fear because you know they are stronger than you. Although strengh is not the only way to win a fight. Such as your "hit in the head" technique, also if you know how to fight like marital arts is useful.\n\nI've never been in a real fight but I've predicted how I would react to being in one, I'd definatly, run I'm a weak coward, lol

How can one possibly fight for peace? Already the word "fighting" has a military connotation. Do you see the oximoron here? \nSomebody mentioned Neville Chamberlain here. A peace fighter? How noble. Are we to forget that he almost let Hitler have his way? How are you to reach your peace with someone like Hitler, or his modern equivalents? Your only way would be to first fight them, and then when you won the war, force them to peace. That is why it is so rare to find a peace fighter. Most of so called peace factions, when you really and honsetly think about it, encourage you to basically cave in to the side that started the agression in the first place, thus excluding the possibility of true peace. \nThis is not to say that what you seek doesn't exist. You just need to change the formulation. No peace fighter with its inherent contradiction, but peace seeker. And you can find those noble heroes who hoped to find peace. \nNestor was, for example, a Greek hero king, who at first urged the Greeks to turn away from the siege of Troy.\nIn the modern times we can probably mention Ghandi, with his passive resistance movemen, that eventually won him and India the independence they have been hoping for, without bloodshed. \nSo, look for heroes who were peace seekers instead, but not for peace fighters. For the most part, those who proclaim themselves to be peace fighter, do whatever they do against the benefit of their people. They are consequently not considered heroes, and history doesn't carry their memory forth. This is the reason for your difficulty, I believe.\nWe all remember Hamilkar and his renown son Hannibal, who, to gain peace for their country, fought against the Roman, but we cannot recall the names of the elders of Carthage who pushed for what they called peace, and was really submission. We cannot remember them, and why the heck should we? In spite of their declaration, they weren't true peace fighters, their political opponents, father and son both, were. So, basically, a hero who works for peace, has occasionally to start a war. In our imperfect world, it couldn't be otherwise. This is why your search couldn't be successfull as one would hope for. Hope this helps.

I have never believed that courage could be described as heroic except in exceptional circumstances.  A madman can be heroic whilst not having a morsel of courage.  A coward might never be heroic but by doing something he is terrified of doing makes him courageous.  The non-swimmer who jumps into a river to try to save a drowning child might be stupid and idiotic but he still has courage.  On the other hand a soldier trained in the used of weaponry who uses his skills to save other comrades may be a hero but not necessarily have any courage.\nTo sum up, I would say that a person who is frightened out of his wits at the prospect of doing something, yet does it despite that fact, is indeed courageous and shows the true meaning of 'courage'.

Excitement is attractive.  \n\nPassion is attractive.  \n\nNice guys who exude a passionate enthusiasm will beat a blase bad boy any day of the week.

Yes but all true sport has an element of danger.\n\nAnd to paraphrase from a movie I saw a while back "The Replacements"...\n\n... bones heal, chicks dig scars but glory is forever...

A very thoughtful question! It's so true that those beautiful qualities are considered weak. In our cut throat competition driven society there doesn't seem to be much room for real human beings these days. I'm sure the many who consider these qualities weak would like to be more open and kind but they view this world as a competition or a scary place, or a place to just get by in, etc. and feel they must always keep their guard up. This society has always honored and valued toughness. There is nothing wrong with being tough when needed and defending yourself but this culture honors toughness in a twisted way. There is pages written on the conquerors and violent people in our history books but someone like Lao tzu or peace pilgrim or Buddha are only tiny footnotes. I think it comes from our wrong views about life. It comes from fear and trying to protect ourselves. We think we have to be so hard and constantly on guard 24/7 against the dangers of life. Common sense tells us we do have to protect ourselves and not be naive but we can also be open and gracious and caring, etc. It takes a lot of courage to be open and to be kind and thoughtful. The rose's real strength is it's beauty. Being yourself at all times is the real strength and it is so beautiful. It is rare to find people who risk being themselves. Be proud to have those qualities!
