"Il est facile d'être courageux à distance sûre"
— Aesop
Simplified Meaning:
When you are far away from danger, it’s much simpler to act like you are courageous. Imagine watching a scary movie from your cozy living room. It’s easy to laugh at the characters’ fears because you’re safe at home. But if you were in their place, facing the same scary situation, it would be much harder to stay calm and brave. In real life, people might give bold advice to others about facing problems they don't experience themselves. For instance, someone might tell their friend to quit a bad job without understanding how scary it is to lose income. This quote reminds us that true bravery is shown when we face challenges head-on, not when we talk from a place of comfort.
