This thread is for anyone who wonders if they have courage. We’re seeing astonishing examples of courage in Ukraine, but we ought remember that each of us can have courage. For some of us, it takes courage to arise from bed each morning. For some, it is wrestling with inner
demons. For others, it is facing bullies or evil. The thing is, each act of facing our fears is an act of courage.
