Courage

The courage to do the right thing, the courage to think for yourself, the courage to just say no. There are many different kinds of courage.  You have the war heroes that risk life and limb to get their friends back home. That is courage. The audacity to stand up one more time and still spit in the devils eye takes the same amount of courage and will power I think. The courage to take the chance and just hope and pray that the girl sitting over there really does like you and isn't just teasing you. Different form of courage but courage non the less. There are problems of too much courage and not enough thought.  This is where the guy at the funeral says "i'm sorry but they died very courageously". OK great but they're still dead. Obviously this is a very extreme example but I think it shows my point nicely. Courage has to be tempered with wisdom, patience and humility. Some times it takes all the courage in every fiber of your being to just sit there and wait.
