There is nothing we prize more than courage. But courage is not a precious stone like a diamond that takes a billion years to create, nor oil that must be drawn from deep underground.
Courage is something much simpler. It’s renewable. It’s everywhere. It's something that we are capable of at a moment's notice. There are unlimited, even daily opportunities for it everywhere. And yet it remains so rare. Why?
Because we are afraid. It's easier not to get involved. We have something else we're working on and now is not a good time. An understandable logic, but if everyone thought that way, what's left?
In an ugly world, courage is what allows beautiful things to happen.
