Some people think that a courageous person is one who is tough. We sometimes exhort to ourselves that a courageous person is one who punches hard, one who talks loud. But to be brave, to be courageous we need not to inflict pain through our words.
Real courage is not the absence of fear. It’s actually being fearful; fearful to hurt someone’s feelings, fearful to destroy each other reputation. So many graces are lost because of our recklessness. Courage without wisdom is recklessness. Real courage constitutes those of with love not by being abrasive. . Courage is gentleness.
We are not less courageous if we speak softly. We are not less courageous if we opt not to hurt others feelings.
One is not said to be strong if that person has no retreat in hurting people. A courageous person is effortless; effortless in uttering harsh words. You are not coward if you surrender yourself from reciprocating badly for the bad. You are not weak if you have chosen not to spread gossip from the gossip spread against you. To get even with your fellow is not courage itself. Courage is avoiding of crushing the weak with a strong might.
