Being Brave.

We all think we’re capable of self-sacrifice, don’t we? But how far would each of us go if called to account?

Would we decline to complain about an inconvenience because somebody else’s conflicting need was greater?

Would we give up our heart’s desire in order for our heart’s desire to be happier with somebody else?

Would we burn ourselves alive to draw attention to a cause?

There are no brave men and no cowards. There are only infinitely variable thresholds of caring, sensitivity, tolerance of pain, willingness to accept risk, and the capacity to detach. No two people are made the same, so no one person has the right to judge another.
