I suspect that a courageous person would be capable of more evil (were
that her bent) than a frightened person.


But that's a question, would it be her bent?

I didn't say, btw, that there was a connection in every case. That would be completely unsubstantiated. But I suspect there is some connection.

You said there never was. And capitalized and bolded Never to emphasize it.

It's that that I'm taking exception to.

Not claiming a direct connection on every case.

Not claiming that courageous people can't be evil.

But postulating that cowardly people are more likely to be evil and courageous people less likely. Not a one-to-one correlation. But a relationship.l

Do you really disagree with that?
