A True Lion
A True Lion
By: Kevin M. Macheca
They say that a brave man is like a lion. So, how can we be like a lion if frights and fears are always dominant against to ourselves? Is there any weapon to hinder this kind of phobia in life? People, are you a true lion or just pretending somewhat that you belong to this genre of humanoid? Or must we wait until others will tell us as a coward lion? Is true lion a person of great courage, strength and determination? Well, can you consider yourself as a true lion?
A lion is always the king of the jungle and the beast for the reason that they are the most majestic and boisterous form of animals among the others. Truly, lion is precisely chivalrous and fearless in many races of animals that’s why it is called as the chieftain of their tribes. The presidents, legislators, priests and any of those members of the society can be consider as a strong lion for they can refrain and cease tribulation and make everybody pay attention whenever they want. A man who swallows anyone’s pride isn’t a description of a lion otherwise a good lion knows the feeling of being underestimated. A brave lion is not a man who considers the twists and turns in life as a tiresome game because a true lion is a person who enjoys the philosophy of life to the fullest. It’s a lion that can surmount nightmares in life and can stand upright with his own feet while walking thru his footpath. A lovers who always fighting is not a true lion otherwise a two brave hearts is strong enough to link the kingdom of love whoever hindrance of their relationship. A brave lion is not pessimistic, he’s optimistic and sees difficulties in every opportunities. A soldier lion is always ready to wake up even in the aisle of war; it’s not the lion that always sleep ‘till the morning dawns. A brave lion is not the man who fights and kills for his own sake; it’s the man who surrender himself to jail from the wrong-doings he did. And yes, a true lion knows to fear on our divine providence

    A coward, by definition, is a person who lacks courage, especially one who is shamefully unable to control his fear and so shrinks from danger or trouble. In the short story, “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot”, Robert Olen Butler makes the point that cowardly behavior can ultimately lead to ones demise through his use of plot, characterization, symbolism, and irony. In this story, Butler portrays a jealous husbands cowardly behavior when dealing with his supposedly cheating wife, which leads to his death. He then returns in the form of a parrot to endure the pain of his decisions. As demonstrated by the husband, who is the main character in this story, cowardly behavior can be caused by weaknesses as relatively common…

    The land of Zamundo was a faraway land. It was so far that the only creatures living there were animals, and the land was run with their leader King Geoffie, the most magnificent lion anyone had ever seen. King Geoffie had a thick mane, with strands that looked as though they were made of gold rope and if you ever got close enough, you could bury your arm in it, up to your elbow. Each of his paws was the size of a basketball and his claws were as sharp as knives. Even though he was scary to look at all the animals of Zamundo loved King Geoffie.

    This concept of being a fox and lion means that to succeed in your ‘battle’ a person must be a cunning, deceitful fox and a powerful, aggressive lion both at the same time. “He should select among them the fox and the lion, because the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot protect himself from the wolves.” (2528 Prince) In this, Machiavelli’s explains that a prince must be a lion to protect himself from outside invasion with brute force and power, however when the tables are turned and the war is one of intellect, the prince must also have within him the ability to reason and think outside of the box.…

    Allegory In Beowulf

    In the book the Fairie Queen, although the lion has no name in the story it is still part of Spensor’s allegory. A lion is the king of the jungle; it inherently signifies natural law. Which could be vehemently ferocious when it has to, but seemingly sympathetic to Christian reality. Rendering to Christian divinity, natural law crafts and creates part of God’s celestial law. Of human nature Christian is not an antagonist, it acts in harmony and unity with it. The lion instinctively assists and protects Una. Conversely, why is it no contest for the knight Sansloy? Without the law, act, rule, or decree of God, who maneuvers outside the circumference of heavenly law? The natural law symbolized and personified in this lion holds no power nor influence above Sansloy. Sansloy is capable of manipulating and destroying the lion because he isn’t subjected to the indefinite laws of nature. Nevertheless, the lion can trounce, conquer and overwhelm the robber, who infringes and disobeys the natural law by constantly stealing, committing larceny, and indulging…

    But becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. it's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it, that's the point. " What I learnt from this quote is that I need to start taking that step and trying new things and challenging myself (or overcome my fear) because it's the only way I'm going to be successful. Beatrice is a good example of taking that one step to overcome our…

    The first and most obvious symbol in the story is the lion, or more specifically, the secret lion. It is not a literal lion. The lion of the story represents things that are big and the secret of it is that it is unexplained, or even ignored. It suggests change, and it is a change that is big and confusing. The secret lion is a symbol of coming of age and understanding that with change there is loss, and to hold onto something, it must be secret. The narrator explains that when he was twelve, "something happened that we didn't have a name for, but it was there nonetheless like a lion, and roaring, roaring that way the biggest things do."(43). This young boys' life has all changed, and everything is different. However, despite its roar, the lion remained "secret," not spoken of or explained. Similar to the distress and misunderstanding of coming of age.…

    An example of being afraid of failure is in lines 10-20, “...In which people thereof,respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States”. Abraham Lincoln has 100 days to free the slaves but he is afraid that he will fail and he was also afraid that the people would rebellion against the United States. How this relates to me is that we both are trying to be successful for the present but also the future. However, we are afraid of failing and that will bring many bad consequences to our life.…

    Usually there are different types of courage and an example would be moral courage and courage in general. Courage is the ability for one to do something that they fear. Moral courage can be defined as the action one takes for the sole purpose of helping others fight for a cause and willing to take a risk despite the consequences that might be faced.

    Heroes aren’t brave because they have no fear, but because they are willing to overcome that fear. The denotation of courage is ‘the ability to do something that frightens one.’ A hero doesn’t display courage if he isn’t fearful of his circumstances or the actions he must take. The triumph over fear, overcoming something hard, dangerous, or frightening, is what shows bravery. Willingly going against fear-no matter how big it is-to rescue, save, or bring justice, is heroic. The former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, once said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” A cowardice may seem to have the simple way out, being subject to backing out and not having to face difficult situations, however, the act of bravery bears more fruit in character. While a coward reaps nothing more than a failure mentality, a hero-someone brave- overcomes fear and grows a mentality of endurance. After shying away from trials, a coward sees that he can’t do strenuous work (or won’t) and doesn’t try again, but a brave man sees that he can overcome hard things and is encouraged to jump over more hurdles.…

    Fear has a component of biological traits and genes but there are also many environmental experiences that impact what you are afraid of as an adult. As children we are taught that making a mistake is wrong and many times we get punished for simple errors that are no big deal. We are all afraid of failure but there people that are just too afraid, this is a consequence of bad treatment during childhood.
