You know, according to Aristotle, "courage" is not the polar opposite of "cowardice", "brashness" is.
The Coward has too much regard for consequences - fear.
The Courageous correctly apprehends the consequences but does what must be done anyway in spite of the fear.
The Brash have too little regard for the consequences, the fear or the harm they do to others.
