To See What Is Right And Not Do It Is A Lack Of Courage.




Recognizing the right thing to do and making the good thing are two totally different matters. Even if we learn what to do, we may miss the willingness and bravery to really do do so because we fear the retaliation, business failure and so forth. Still planning, expectation and practice can enable us to manage society pressures and act on values.

It takes courage-moral courage and the spirit of one's convictions to spend the moment and mind looking for the most moral good solution rather than deciding for the easiest right answer. The danger of not rising to the challenge to be morally courageous at we do is seldom about our personal well-being. 

Therefore, do not let your fear eat away your courage to have you not doing the right actions. Be brave, be strong.

And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
