Courage is what keeps family together, build strong individuals, strong nations. Courage brings respect and honor. Courage is standing for what is right even if it means loosing your physical life. Courage is doing the right thing in spite of being fearful. We can have many good thoughts and intentions but we can't accomplish much, if any, if we shy away from the truth. Truth is what build up healthy individuals, healthy marriages, healthy societies and healthy nations. Howevr, truth can't stand without courage. There will always be an opposition to the truth and courage is the only ingredient that will preserve a society.

 People's trust in individuals and institutions depend on courage. We can see how courageous and individual is. We will inmediately trust that person. We will do financial transaction with a person that has the courage to be honest.  In a marriage situation, when a person looses the courage to stand on the vows they took, trust is going to suffer a big blow. Marriage relays on trust and trust is the result of a person being courageous enough to do the right thing.

The opposite of being courageous is being a coward and it is said that nothing it is written about a coward. When we become cowards everything and everybody defeat us. We become not useful. Everybody will use cowards for their own benefit. When there is no courage standing up, liars will take over and destruction and anarchy will prevail. It is almost impossible to keep a healthy nation without sometimes getting involved militarily. There will be nations or group of individuals that will test us to see what are we made of. The result is that individuals most sacret honor most be defended with blood sometimes. If we stand for something and we want to pass real valuable character to our next generation we have to stand with courage against all odd.

In our personal life courage is what develop our character. People will trust us if we believe in something bigger than ourselves and we stand firmly for it. We will be hired easier when we show traits of courageousness. We wll bcome and asset when we show that we will stand  for truth with determination. This is real courage. The rest is just imitation. People will know what is in a name when they see courage. Courage is the best signature you can have. It preserves value.
