Most things in life are easy to describe and understand. For instance: a house is a house, and a mouse is a mouse. There is nothing complicated about these two things. Such words like these are innate to us humans; they are purely simple and can be learned with great ease. Be that as it may, other concepts are very difficult to comprehend and interpret. Integrity is one of these many concepts; compassion is another. Nonetheless, bravery is one of the most perplexing words to wrap one’s mind around. What makes a person truly brave? How can this word be defined in actuality? Franklin P. Jones was a witty and proficient reporter that lived in the early 1900’s, and he thought up this outstanding quote: “Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.” It is difficult to understand exactly what he means by this abstruse expression at first, especially if a person has never experienced true bravery. The story of David and Goliath is a perfect example of amazing bravery. David, who was a small framed teenage boy, fought Goliath, a legendary warrior that stood over nine feet tall who was made of steel and smashed anyone in his way. Goliath wielded a sword that no regular man could even lift, and David wielded a pity slingshot with small stones for ammunition. He could not even put on a warriors armor because he was so puny and weak; yet he stepped up to the plate and went head on with the Philistine’s legendary champion: the indomitable Goliath. The young Israelite believed that the Lord was with him, and that he could triumph over the great giant. He did not even think twice, instead bravery consumed him and he wasted no time in defeating Goliath. David sank a small stone deep into the giant’s forehead, and Goliath fell on his face as he smashed to the ground. The fall seemed to shake the earth. The Israelites won and the Philistines were defeated because of this young boy’s bravery, but also because God was beside him.
