Question

What does courage mean now? Sarah Francis


Answer

Andries Botha: Sara thank you for this question. You know we’re so accustomed to seeing the sort of - very obvious sort of massive gestures that constitute courage. That in my opinion courage is now - or courage is when an individual is prepared to love, even when your own life is constituted around a certain - around circumstances where love has not been possible. Where your own life, to love - love is absent in your own life. Compassion, human compassion, takes an enormous amount of courage. Upholding another person’s right to dignity takes courage. And being prepared – being prepared to engage people around the upholding of the dignity of another person’s life. That’s what I think courage means.
