Whats in a Word?

Whats in a Word?

By definition, courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain etc – without fear.
.
Courage is also bravery that source its strength from the heart.
.
Everybody applauds courage. My question is “which one?”.
.
I have read keyboard warriors rant with powerful phrases and enrolling keywords that riles the audience. Then when there is action to be taken offline…many falters and cower in a corner. Conversations by these warriors becomes whispers like squeaking rats in the dark corners where the insignificant hides.
.
I have also seen strong leaders go against the grain, having multiple unsavoury words strewn their way and buckets of hatred sent piercing through our hearts via media, speech and various other media platforms to taint their reputation.
.
What is the truth behind Courage? Who is willing to truly embody this word?
.
I spoke about characters in “Devil wears Prada” the movie and highlighted the most hated character. The she boss, the bitch, the nasty and unwavering woman seen relentless and unforgiving. Such an amazing person we love to hate.
.
Yet, at the end of the movie, we recognize her as the rock…the reason another being blossoms and achieve breakthroughs.
.
So, we do know courage…don’t we?
.
The truth is, we all know the value of courage, but I invite you to #reflect on which ‘courage’ do we stand by? The BITCH who will go forth or the KEYBOARD WARRIOR (or those who speaks only behind closed doors) who cowers when push comes to shove?
.
Reality is a bitch…indeed a courageous space to live in.
