When we talk of bravery and courage, we think of great leaders and armies who conquered countries. Alternatively we might think of those few courageous individuals who won awards for their bravery in saving lives of people.
All these acts of bravery and valor are true and commendable. However, not all stories of braveries need to be great or earth-shaking.
Life gives us a chance everyday to show our courage. Earning one’s living through honest means and not giving in to temptations, itself is a matter of valor and courage.
In fact, if we keep our eyes open, we can see several examples of courage strewn all around us.
We Can Be Brave in anything We Do
Often the army men are credited with bravery. While not discounting their valor, we must also think of those who stand by their duties in the face of hardships and danger.
A journalist who exposes the serious rackets in society, is as brave as any.
People who clean the underground drains of the sewer system go through the life-threatening hazards in their efforts to keep the city clean and functioning.
People who work with high-tension electric lines put their life in danger all the time.
The hazardous manufacturing processes in factories and large plants put the workers in danger. However, these people undergo their duties day in and out without a second though or worry about their personal safety.
Having Principles in Life makes it Worthy to Live
Unscrupulous people can adopt any means for their success or profits. However, in any society, such people are few and easily identifiable.
Most people in a society live by their principles. In fact, a great society is built when the majorities of people are righteous and live by their principles.
The concept of Ram Rajya or the rule of justice and fairness, is dependent on the fact that the majority of the citizen will follow the path of Dharma; that is living with principles and fulfilling their duties and responsibilities.
