Question

What does this mean: the greatest coward is the one who hurts the most?

Answer 1

Being brave means being strong emotionally. If you let something get to you and cause you to become affected by it, you are not being brave at all, you are being cowardly by not showing strength against whatever has hurt you.

Aka, Brevity requires little sensitivity to things that don't make a huge difference.

Answer 2

It means that if you are constantly being a shy loner and never making a move in your life, you'll regret it.

IT takes a coward to be so low to hurt someone the most.  Cowards suffer low self estem.

Answer 12

I don't understand your overall point.

Answer 13

it means the one who is really the coward is the one who is hurting everyone, not the one whom everyone is calling a coward, so the greatest coward is the bully and he hurts the most because he cant show that he is really the coward

Answer 14

Maybe it applies to schoolyard bullying, the greatest coward being the kid who hurts other kids the most?

Answer 15

The person who hurts the most people is probably the one who is trying to lash out because he is afraid of his own emotions or demons?

Answer 16

It runs along the same lines as "a coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero only one."

The problem with being a coward is that you are constantly fearful of things to come.  You feel the pain when there is none.

For example, a coward will think about an upcoming visit to the dentist and actually experience physical pain because of the anticipation of pain to come!  He/She will experience this imaginary pain every single day up until the appointment and it will intensify the closer the appointment gets.

The non-coward faces the dentist with confidence in that, if there is any pain, he/she will be able to handle it, put it behind him/her, and go on.

Therefore...the GREATEST coward, the coward of all cowards, will constantly experience the hurt of anticipation, negative expectations, and look at almost everything that requires any sort of backbone with mental anquish and actual physical pain...more so than anyone else!

This applies to the coward's anticipation of tests, applying for a job, flying in an airplane, etc., etc., etc.

Hence, the greatest coward is the one who hurts the most!

Answer 17

It means being courageous and doing the right thing may seem painful, but it actually is less painful than being a coward.

Answer 18

I think it means the the greatest coward is the one who never moves on.

Meaning the one who's scared the most is the one who's afraid to move on.

Or perhaps that the one who's afraid the most is the one that can't cope with life
