Can we be Fearless? or BRAVEHEARTS.... ?

Last night, when I was watching the movie Braveheart (by Mel Gibson) again after years, I realized that there was so much to the movie and its dialogues than what I had understood when I had first seen it.
 
I saw the passion in the men to fight for what was theirs! Killing brutally and mercilessly...and more so with a hatred so fierce... !! Each blow came with every ounce of energy left in the body, the will never withering till the last kill!

Nothing more mattered to them at that moment than the FREEDOM !

Freedom comes with a price! The warriors paid with the lives of so many men to get it!
 
Does the King/Leader ever feel the guilt for achieving something at the cost of so many lives, families, children, homes? Or do we say all is fair in war...and Love?

In today's time, do any of us have that vicious wildness to go for what we want? To just DO IT? Do we have that passion in our hearts to just WIN it? Or are we tied down too much with our social and moral obligations? Do we ever have the liberty to live as an individual and act as an individual?

As a child, we have our parents to act for, then partner/spouse, and then our children!

An excellent excerpt from the movie -

(When William Wallace addresses the army, which was retreating, before the war against the English)

WW - You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom?

Will you fight?

Men - Fight Against that (the English Army)? No, we will run; and we will live.

WW - Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while.

And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance....to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... our FREEDOM!
