No. You can be brave without being aggressive. Have you ever climbed a mountain, have you ever helped someone who no one else would help.
Have you ever camped out in minus 50 degree weather.
No, definitely not. I think to be brave, one must just face one's fear and go forth with courage.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
