What does the word 'courage' remind you of?
Is it of mythical heroes
performing brave deeds?
Or comic-book characters
battling villains with mighty powers?
But… just think.

…Think of the orphan boy
in the street,
Having no one,
Begging for food,
Struggling to survive to see the dawn of tomorrow…

…Think of the doctor,
Trying with all his strength to save the life of another…

…Think of the soldiers
defending our country,
Trying to make it a better place for everyone,
Not knowing when they
themselves would die…
And decide for yourself,
What is true courage.
