I also agree that being selfless and being brave are related. It's easy to be scared and selfish, we all have a desire to protect ourselves and pursue our own interests. Being able to put that aside to help others, even if it inconveniences us or puts us in danger is difficult. That takes bravery and selflessness, and sometimes it's hard to see the difference.

Yes it requires bravery to be honest everytime, but one thing that we must keep in consideration is, is honesty good in all situations?

It definitely requires bravery to be honest all the time. Especially to people you really care about like family members. I would not like to live in a society like candor. Some times, I too do not want to hear the truth!Scott wrote: ↑03 Jun 2014, 13:22 The following discussion question was included in some copies of the June book of the month, Divergent by Veronica Roth.
Tris says about Candor, “It must require bravery to be honest all the time” (p. 62). Do you agree? Which do you think is a braver faction, Dauntless or Candor? Would you like to live in a society like Candor, where everyone tells the truth no matter how hard it is to hear?

One thing I find especially interesting about this connection between bravery and honesty is that the book also often connects the selflessness of Abnegation with bravery as well. On more than one occasion in the book it is asserted explicitly that the selfless thing to do and the bravest thing to do are often one in the same. In this sense, many of the 5 different values represented by each faction are showing to actually represent a single similar but more sophisticated ideal.

*dauntless, they are the bravest, definitely, they don't beat around the bush and they are supposed to show themselves as they really are.
*no, I would not like it.
