Courage is not a man with a gun in his hand.

Courage is not aggression masquerading as bravery. 

Courage is not punching down.

Courage is not using force or intimidation to silence others.

Courage is not shouting over others.

Courage is not gaslighting others or lying to them.

Courage is not keeping quiet when you know it’s right to speak up.

Courage is not avoiding difficult conversations out of fear.

Courage is not denial of facts or reason.

Courage is not ignoring evidence that challenges your beliefs or worldview.
