Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We are living in an age of limbo, where one age is dying and the new age is not yet born. We cannot ignore the changes in sexual mores, marriage styles, family structures, education, and religion. #2 Courage is the foundation that underlies and gives reality to all other virtues. It is not a virtue or value among other personal values like love or fidelity.
It is the basis that underlies and gives reality to all other virtues. #3 The most simple and obvious form of courage is physical. We need a new form of physical courage that will neither run rampant in violence nor require our assertion of egocentric power over other people. #4 Moral courage is the second type of courage. It is the courage to stand up for what is right, even if it means standing alone.
It is based on one's capacity to perceive the suffering of others, and it arises from compassion for that suffering.
