This is touching, a very thoughtful reflection of what one simple word, "courage", may mean to different people. How despite we doubt it ourselves, how despite what others think that we may or may not have...it is still there.

Maybe your formatting could be fixed a little, but thank you for sharing this with us.

"Courage is watching Pippin ride away withGandalf to Minas Tirith, and letting go of the last thing he had been holding onto." ... I agree, that was a decisive moment for Merry in the movie. This is what Merry would have thought as courageous. And the other thing: "He does it without realizing that it is an act of courage." I think your interpretation of that is right-on as well. This is also a lovely line: "For Pip, courage is having to grow up." In fact, this piece is packed with them. I really enjoyed the thematic handling, the short little sections, almost poetic in their brevity. If you were interested in making minor improvements, you might consider fixing the formatting (it's a little hard to read, with line breaks showing up almost randomly) and have a beta go over the verb tenses. Other than that, you have a solid piece here.

Quite lovely. Information quite known to us, but easily forgotten in the scope of things.

Nice job.
