Having no fear of going to war for example. There is no motivation, no nothing. But being fearless? It's brave.

Being fearless does not mean being thoughtful and wise. Fearless is just an action and it can be careless. Learning to control your fears sounds more thoughtful. You don't dismiss the fear as some times it can be real. But you don't let it control your judgement. You know when to ignore them and when not to.Scott wrote: ↑03 Jun 2014, 19:06 The following discussion question was included in some copies of the June book of the month, Divergent by Veronica Roth.
What is the difference between being fearless and learning to control your fears? Do you believe anyone can be truly fearless? What does Tris mean when she says that “half of bravery is perspective” (p. 458)?
Tris is right when she says half of bravery is perspective. Ones perspective of the situation can determine how brave they feel.

Fearless implies an attitude of confidence. That is learned once someone has experienced and matured through facing their fears. Facing fears is a process in which people learn to control their fears. Once you have taken control of your thoughts concerning a fear, then that fear has no more hold on you. Once you change your perspective on a fear, it will no longer have a hold on you. For instance, Four has a fear of heights. However, his perspective of climbing a ferris wheel to protect Tris from falling kept his fear from paralyzing him, so he was able to control his fear. Tris running back into Dauntless headquarters when everyone was still under the attack serum was fearless, because she faced the fear head on with confidence that she was going to accomplish a goal regardless of the circumstances. Her accomplishing her goal of stopping the attack, through facing her fear of being killed by Four was accomplished through her changing her perspective on the situation, and figuring out how to save herself and Four, thus creating bravery on her part. Therefore I think one becomes fearless through learning how to control their fears through changing their perspective.
