Courage, in definition form, is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger or pain. It is something that determines how far a person can go while they are suffering. Courage can be seen everywhere – miserable patients in hospitals, people starving around the world, and laborers working hard. What people consider to be quite easy is very challenging. Even a small thing like standing up for your friend and doing the right thing takes a lot of courage. To be courageous takes will power, and good morals. If you know you have to do something, you must consider the consequences and how they will improve the life of yourself of others. Courage doesn’t necessarily mean shooting down a million “bad” guys and saving the world. I feel everyone will have a moment like that - where they know that they have been courageous, and they know that no matter what happens, what they did was the right thing.
Hey Sai,
Wonderful blog. You have some really good examples and your descriptions are very detailed. I find your blog on courage highly informative and hope to see you write more pieces like this.

Where do these “good” morals come form and who decides which are good and which are bad? Do we have a set of shared morals?
Nice post!

November 19, 2006 @ 6:56 amMr.R, I believe that the “good” morals come from the brought-up and the environment around the person. These are the morals taught by the parents or family members of a child that influences him or her to make the right choices and be courageous when they need to. I still don’t know how I can reply directly to you without leaving a comment on my own blog. Thanks for viewing my site and I hope you keep commenting,

Leaving a comment on your own post is exactly what you do. It creates a conversation. This is the point.
You still didn’t answer my question, do we have a set of shared morals? For example when is it okay for people to get married? Some cultures say 18, others say 12. Which is morally “right”?
