is insufficient when it describes courage. While it defines physical courage‚ it omits inner courage which can be argued to be much more valuable to posses. Webster’s New World Dictionary describes courage as “an attitude of facing and dealing with anything recognized as dangerous‚ difficult or painful‚ instead of withdrawing from it”.
