BRAVE or FOOLHARDY

Is being brave doing something extra-ordinarily risky?
Or is it doing it, knowing it is risky?
Or is it doing it knowingly, having weighed up the risks?
Or is it doing it ignorantly, not realising the risks?
Or is it doing it instinctively, not thinking about the risks?

Everyone thinks I come under the first or second category, but in reality I do stuff under the last
... moving to Spain, riding a motorbike, starting up business enterprises, helping drunks, stopping street fights, lending money, trusting unknown people...

For me, bravery is...
- criticising racist comments
- tolerating idiots
