The difference between being fearless and learning to control fears is the difference between foolishness and courage. If someone is simply fearless, then they are going against the basic nature of humanity by assuming that they have nothing to fear, and there is ALWAYS something to fear. Overcoming fears, however, is a journey that requires courage and strength to succeed. Learning to grow out of fears allows someone to become stronger as a person. Therefore, no one can be truly fearless, only grown out of fears.

I don't believe anyone can or should be fearless.
When Tris says that "half of bravery is perspective" i thinks she means that some actions that you see as brave aren't seen as brave by the one doing them, or the other way around.
