We were taught from young to do the right thing.
Yet, it's the hardest thing to do.
You can be punished because
the status quo is sometimes affected when you do the right thing.
People love status quo.
It makes them feel invincible.
Yet,
the most dramatic change in society have always been brought about by
those who believed that what they stand for is much bigger than
what they may lose by doing the right thing.
Courage is not the absence of fear,
but rather the judgment that something else is more important than one's fear.
I could not imagine what it must have been like to take on an
entrenched British system.
Yet Mahatma Gandhi did
in his peaceful, persistent, courageous way.
He just wanted to right a wrong.
He simply wanted the world to know that the time for which
the wrong has been perpetuated does not make it right.
It may have been gone on for a long time
but definitely not a reason to continue to perpetuate a wrong.
Life throws so many unexpected, undesirable curves at us.
The curves are platforms for doing the right thing.
Stop your inhibition and
unleash the samurai in you.
