In our webpage about the most beautiful woman in the world - whoever she is - we listed the qualities she would have to have to qualify. Among those qualities is bravery. Bravery is confidence in one's ability to pursue one's values in the face of adversity or hardship. It is popular these days to declare bravery to be a myth, that everyone is brave each to his own degree. But the truth is we admire bravery precisely because it is NOT something everyone achieves. In fact, many people don't even have the kind of values that require bravery, those that are difficult to attain, things like our chosen career instead of a 'job', or true love instead of 'a partner'. We find bravery beautiful because beauty is the representation of our values and we all desire things like true love, the perfect career, etc. Bravery, like real art, inspires us. And like all inspiring things, we find it - and those who possess it - beautiful.
