Courage

"One of the greatest ironies of courage, and the reason why we prize it so highly, is that we it easier to be brave for someone else than we do for ourselves"

These are the words from the book Santaram. Unlike the many words that i have come across in the many book s that i have read, these words spoke to me for some odd reasons. When i thought or contemplated the gravity of the words, i realised that these are true for almost every individual living on the planet earth. I have been there too, showing courage for someone i had loved when i could not have shown the same courage for myself.

I do not want to think too much about the same, i do not want to violate the sanctity of these words by putting up my own thoughts, let these words remain the way it is, speaking for all the romantics in the world.

mm,

Courage is often misinterpreted a bit on the rougher side(Physical), however i like to appreciate people who show courage on emotional fronts. What do you say?

Cheers,
