A Mistaken View of Bravery

Some stupid people glorify murderers and call them brave persons.  
Who really are brave people, and how do we identify cowards?  
Brave people do not fight and slaughter one another in the name of war.  
Cowards kill others because they are afraid to lose their lives.  
There is no bravery in perpetrating evil acts against human beings.  
 
The ones with misguided beliefs absurdly regard murderers as brave people.  
They honour the militaries that use weapons of mass destruction in wars.  
But in reality, anybody who takes the life of another is a coward.  
Cowards like to pick on weak persons to show their supposed strength.  
A truly brave person risks his or her life to speak out against wicked people.  
 
The following scenario will identify bravery as opposed to cowardice.  
An unarmed man is being harassed and intimidated by heavily armed police.  
Although he knows that his life is in danger, he fearlessly stands up for his rights.  
One of the police shoots him in cold blood and then they fabricate a report.  
Who do you think is the brave person and who are the cowards?  
 
Warmongers and bullies are not brave people; they are fools and cowards.  
Many people will disagree with me, for they were brought up in false teachings.  
They mislead us with the teachings of nationalism and patriotism.  
And they teach our children that brave men and women fight in wars.  
On the contrary, fighting and killing one another is definitely not bravery.
