NOTE

COURAGE

Courage is the ability to be brave when you are in danger, pain, or in difficult situation. It could also be the ability to be brave enough to say or do what you think is right even though other people may not agree or approve. This exercise of boldness in carrying out positive activities in the community where you are is called courage.

 

TYPES OF COURAGE

1.) Physical courage – The willingness to exercise physical energy to get things done. Fear in most cases may hinder physical things from being accomplished.

2.) Moral courage – The ability to choose to do what is right irrespective of pressure to do otherwise. Many people today are not morally okay so they pile pressure on people to go along with them in the wrong way. Some youths today make jest of other youths who dress up well to cover their nakedness. They want everyone to dress in miniskirts, ‘show me your breast’ etc, smoke and drink as they consider them as the order of the day. It takes moral courage for a disciplined person to resist the pressure from these wayward majority.

3.) Spiritual courage – Courage to exhibit ones spiritual faith and live according to religious tenets. Fundamental human rights have given everyone the freedom to choose any religion. Religion is the way people worship God. This is what gives people spiritual courage in whatever they do. There is no religion that points people to the negatives. All the different religions teach are all the good morals which are positive. So your spiritual courage should be exhibited to bring out the positive attributes of your faith as a Christian, Muslim or Traditionalist.
