QUESTION:
I want to find the best in humanity, so that in noticing it I can help strengthen it. Where do I look?
ALMINE’S ANSWER:
Physical courage is most praised throughout the history of man. However, it is often the result of the desperate actions of those who have lost all reason to live, or who find within them the resolve of a cornered animal deprived of all other courses of action. But the most admirable traits of man reveal themselves through moral courage. It is in the deep hours of the night when a single mother, weary from a day of toil, nurtures an ailing child at her breast. It is found in the silent determination of a farmer who with furrowed brow wrests his living from the arid soul. It is in these silent acts that the heroism of man can be seen.
.. and such moral courage is usually not seen by the ones outside.. but I can be felt, when we look at they eyes of people, when we feel the hardship they accept.
Well stated (as always) — I wholeheartedly agree!
