Rather,<em> love<\/em> is fear\u2019s natural opposite. Love\u2014for other people, for one\u2019s country, for one\u2019s religion, and so on\u2014is what leads people to sacrifice their comfort, their safety, their well-being, and even their lives for a higher purpose. For example, parents are motivated by love when they place themselves in physical jeopardy to protect their children. Love drives soldiers to sacrifice their lives in a conflict to keep their people safe back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love is strong enough to break through our sense of self-preservation and help us transcend from everyday acts of courage to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/acts-of-selflessness\/\">selfless acts<\/a> of heroism. When faced with a situation where the right thing to do requires you to overcome your fear for your own safety and act against your self-interest, Holiday encourages you to draw strength from your love for the people, places, and causes that matter to you. Think about what\u2019ll happen to them if you don\u2019t do the courageous or heroic thing\u2014are you willing to accept the suffering they\u2019ll endure if you choose not to act?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Courage and Our Drive to Protect the Things We Value<\/strong><br><br>Psychological research supports Holiday\u2019s argument that love drives heroic action. According to experts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/anger-in-the-age-entitlement\/201103\/value-emotions-and-survival#:~:text=the%20drive%20to%20create%20and%20protect%20value,than%20even%20the%20ultimate%20in%20biological\">the need to create and protect value in our lives supersedes the survival instinct.<\/a> We don\u2019t live just to survive\u2014we live for the things we value, like the people we love, the work we care about, and the places we call home. The search for value leads people to do things unnecessary for survival, like building families, creating beautiful works of art, and trying to discover the secrets of the universe.<br><br>Just as we live for the things we value most\u2014or, in Holiday\u2019s terms, the things we love\u2014we also die for them. To return to our earlier examples, parents put themselves in harm\u2019s way for their children because their children are more valuable to them than anything in the world. Likewise, soldiers give up their lives to protect the valued principles and people their country represents. The more we value something, the more we\u2019re willing to sacrifice to keep it safe.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-doing-the-right-thing-for-the-right-reason\">Doing the Right Thing for the Right Reason<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In his discussions of courage and heroism, Holiday gives an important caveat: <strong>To truly represent the virtue of courage, brave actions have to be done for the right reasons.<\/strong> Courageous acts done in the service of evil regimes and causes that aim to harm and oppress others shouldn\u2019t be celebrated. Doing the right thing for the right reason is the only way that the act can be truly virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s world, courage for the wrong reasons might look like people using social <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/internet-platform\/\">media platforms<\/a> to espouse discriminatory and hateful ideologies. The people posting hateful content are willing to speak their truth despite the backlash, but they\u2019re also contributing to suffering and injustice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtuous courage contributes to the greater good, not a greater evil. When you decide where to place your courage, make sure it\u2019s for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/simon-sinek-just-cause\/\">a just cause<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The Stoics believed that courage was the virtue that championed righteous causes. However, applied without the other cardinal virtues\u2014especially justice and wisdom\u2014courage isn\u2019t truly virtuous. <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/stoicism-philosophy-as-a-way-of-life\/the-stoic-virtues-and-code-of-honor-2141ceae095f#:~:text=The%20Stoic%20virtue%20of%20justice,the%20desire%20to%20help%20others.\">Justice includes the sub-virtues of fairness and kindness,<\/a> so a virtuous courageous person must fight for causes that support the common welfare of mankind. Additionally, to be courageous in Stoic terms, <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/practical-rationality\/the-components-of-courage-for-the-stoics-83a8ed83b5c1\">you must be a devotee to truth and a foe to deception.<\/a> In other words, you can\u2019t be the champion of causes that seek to deceive people.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s the opposite of fear?
