Physical courage is good. Moral courage is great.
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #107‘.
Good morning Friends,
So you think you are very courageous,
Climbing steep mountains sailing fierce seas?
But, it is really not even slightly ambiguous,
Without moral courage you’re weak in the knees.
To stand bravely for the right against all odds,
When majority is hell-bent to back the wrong;
Requires courage directly blessed by gods,
And shows if you are really all that strong.
I have come across many a brave man wilt,
Under the ever increasing moral stress;
And then I’ve seen even the straightest tilt,
If not with temptation, at least under duress.
Then there are those who do not fear death,
But braver are those who arenot afraid of life;
No fears are there after one leaves one’s breath,
But to continue living one has to win over strife.
Yes, facing enemy in battle requires pluck,
But, to be able to face yourself requires daring;
If in moral dilemma you are often stuck,
There is no point with brave if you’re comparing.
This morning lets all be brave and bold,
And choose right over what is morally wrong;
Decision of our conscience lets all uphold,
And let this become a habit that’s lifelong.
Have courage to be morally right.
