In times of conflict and danger it is unwise ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro

In times of conflict and danger it is unwise to place too much trust in a fearless person. Those without fear are usually reckless and endanger all those around them. Their fearlessness tends to come from a moral deficiency rather than a nobility of mind. True heroes are not those who feel no fear, but those who do not allow their actions to be determined by the fears that arise and pass away in their hearts. They constantly seek the right thing to do, or at least the most right, and to take that as their guide. They are firm and resolute but not inflexible.
