Bravery and Sacrifice
Doing something difficult or dangerous to help others, even if it means giving up something important.
What is it?
Bravery is being courageous in the face of fear. Sacrifice is giving up something valuable for a greater cause. In the painting "Arria and Paetus," Arria shows both bravery and sacrifice. She is willing to die with her husband rather than let him face shame alone. This story has inspired people for centuries.
