Read this and think twice.
Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or a mistake, but you are not supposed to question adults or your coach or your teacher because they make the rules. May be they know the best, but may be they don’t. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn’t at least one of the 600 guys think of giving up and joining the other side? (Reference to the poem ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ by Lord Tennyson). I mean, valley of death, that’s pretty salty stuff. That’s why courage is tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you are doing something. I mean any fool can have courage, but honour, that’s the real reason you either do something or you don’t. It is who you are and may be who you want to be. If you die trying for something important then you have both honour and courage, and that’s pretty good. I think that is what the writer was saying (Reference to ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’), that you should hope for courage and try for honour and may be even pray that the people telling you what to do have some too.
