It’s hard to reconcile different kinds of thought within ourselves. The world requires very different things from us and its amazing the way we bring them together. Even just to house them sometimes is not an easy thing.
You think all day with a machine as your audience, it’s hard to switch over to the people at night.
What is it that makes us brave? An example of someone else’s bravery? Trust that that outcome will be ok? We don’t need bravery if we have that.
I don’t know : if I had to guess, I’d guess that it’s determination, that word a shorthand for “certainty that you are right.” The more sure you are right that you are, the braver you will be.
There’s a corollary I guess, that if you show someone a kindness, they’re more likely to open up to you.

I’ve always liked it when people carry me aloft and free.
