Is playing the hand one is dealt really brave?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) January 20th, 2012

The word brave is often used to describe someone who is recovering from a serious accident, fighting a major illness, carrying on after the serious injury or death of a loved one, bouncing back from financial devastation, etc. Are these things really brave, or are they simply living one’s life? If someone succumbs to the disease or illness are they less brave than one who survives?
