Courage Should Intensify Alongside Difficulties
The general tendency today is to avoid making decisions. Entertainment is providing an outlet from realism. The attitude, “I don’t care much” and “Doesn’t worry me” is a poisoning gas that is slowly destroying the minds of people. No one will be surprised if we have another war—in fact, it is expected. It is not unusual to hear people saying:. “Oh there’s bound to be another war; you know Russia . . and they mutter something about the atomic bomb.
The war kicked up a lot of dust, 2nd it is going to take some time to settle. Surely we were not educated to destroy one another, but to think and act with the other fellow more, see his point of view and, above all, understand him. We should realise that as our difficulties intensify, so should our courage.
