Ok I keep hearing this quote on tv from a politician, and I can't make any sense of it. The person is obviously trying to sound very wise, but it just sounds like she's saying nonsense. Can anyone tell me what in the world this means?

"He who is innocent, is as brave as the lion"

i may be wrong, or probably way off target, but to me it sounds like it means the innocent one isn't scared to stand up for themselves. like, if the lion was going to eat a good guy or a bad guy, the good guy would be brave enough to fight off the lion. so probably she's trying to say she's right, so she'll make sure she puts her point across? i dunno, i'm probaby well off target. rolleyes

it could be some way, it just...doesn't make sense. Being innocent doesn't make you brave.


myLot reputation of 96/100. xsammiex (2510)  2 years ago

yeah, i guess not. i guess she's saying she knows she's innocent or knows she's right, so she shouldn't be afraid, like how innocent people aren't afraid they'll be put in jail - they'd be brave enough to tell the police they didn't do anything?

I wonder if it means innocent as in unknowing or naive. If someone doesn't know what they are about to face or is unaware how dangerous the situation is, then they are not frightened or intimidated but 'brave as a lion'.
Sort of: its easy to be brave when you're ignorant of the facts.
Probably doesn't mean that but its how I'd interpret it. I'll be watching this discussion to find outhappy

This does make sense to me. Maybe innocent wasn't the right word to use, but that makes more sense.

'He who is innocent, is as brave as the lion' hmmmmm
Lions are fearless... King of their domain.
'He' as in God? No one else is innocent... man is not; far from it.
Which politician said this? What else did he say in the context of the speech?

Then again... telling the TRUTH is hard most of the time, isn't it? Being honest in the face of others who WANT you to lie.... to take the easy road, to be dishonest... and choosing not too.. is BRAVE.

That might be what the politician was referring too?

We all politicians are as bad as liars (ooops... I meant lawyers!)


myLot reputation of 62/100. redhotpogo (2272)   ranked 1,688 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

ah so no one is innocent, but God, and he's as brave as a lion. ok that makes sense too. I didn't understand the rest of the speech. Its in tagalog, and i'm not good with tagalog.

To be an Innocent person is brave. (Lions always have been earmakred as being brave, innocent Im not so sure about, but yes brave.)

To say you never LIE,(you are innocent) you will be challanged many times.
To say you never CHEAT on your partner,(you are innocent) you will be tested never ening.
To say you never STEAL anything (you are innocent) you will be mocked.
To say you are not BIOST in any way or manner(you are innocent) again scoft at in disbeleif.


To be Innocent is to be BRAVE as a LION.
