re: The Value of Moral Courage |

Lasse,
Mr. Josephson's article is definitely on point...!
I love the last line of that article, "People with moral courage rarely get medals, but it is the best marker of true character and a virtue others can be proud of."
Yes, holding onto to a promise, commitment, or simply doing something that you know is right -- especially when one doesn't FEEL like it or because they'd rather do something else or listening to negative influences.....is a rare trait indeed....most people simply can not (or will not) wrap their heads around it...!
The movie "300" shows a great example of this when the Spartan Leader kicks that man into the pit. I apologize as I haven't seen the movie but our church Men's Group shared that clip and it was to illustrate how the Spartan Leader didn't compromise his morality nor beliefs...but kept his word to hold onto those commitments..!
Mr. Josephson also talks about this in his website: www.charactercounts.org under the Six Pillars of Character
under Trustworthiness - Be reliable--do what you say you'll do...!

Have an AWESOME day and May God richly bless you!
