Simplified Meaning:

Being brave doesn’t just mean standing up to people who want to hurt you; it also means being able to control your own desires and temptations. For example, if you really love eating sweets but know they're bad for your health, it takes real courage to say no to desserts. Think of a person trying to quit smoking; they're not just fighting the addiction but also the pleasure smoking gives them. Real strength shows when you can resist doing things that feel good but are harmful in the long run. Overcoming these pleasures helps you grow and become a stronger person. So, true bravery is about self-control and making choices that are better for you, even when it's hard.
