Courage

Reality is such a sad thing. It's such a pity that the world is so big. It's such a shame that there are billions of people in it. There are so many beautiful people in this world. Yet all the different groups of beautiful people find it difficult to connect to the other because each has a different stand.

Love is in everyone. But we portray it differently. We care; but we do it in different ways. We call; and we ask if you are alright. Love is there; but are we going to reach out to it?

Being righteous is a really difficult thing. Never impossible, never. But very difficult. How many of us here can stand tall and proudly claim that we have tried our best to stand true to ourselves and stay virtuous and righteous? There aren't many but only very few. And yet the ones who stumble on purpose are conceited and claim that God is merciful; "He will forgive us if we repent" so "it is okay; we don't have to push ourselves that far"- aren't they then taking advantage of God's kindness? They are u-s-i-n-g God. It's just like the wicked taking advantage of the good ones- they are doing the same thing to God. These humans are shameful. They make excuses for themselves because they fear each other. Because of this fear, they don't want to be taken advantage of, and thus they make the first move instead. Hence, they deviate from the path of righteousness.

Often enough, I am sure that most of us automatically do not categorize ourselves into the genre above. But hey, that's denial. Cuz then we are making ourselves a liar.

And it all began with fear of one another and not God first. It is because people fear the wrong things that they began stumbling.

Righteous people are courageous people. They fear God and thus they stand by the Lord. Hence, because the Lord is with them, they could stand brave and strong- COURAGEOUS.
