Bushido distinguishes between bravery and courage: Courage is worthy of being counted among virtues

Bushido distinguishes between bravery and courage: Courage is worthy of being counted among virtues only if it’s exercised in the cause of Righteousness and Rectitude. In his Analects,  Confucius says: ‘Perceiving what is right and doing it not reveals a lack of Courage.’ In short,  ‘Courage is doing what is right.’
