QuestionWhat does courage mean now? Sarah FrancisAnsweroriginal language english
Abbas Beydoun: I also do not know exactly what courage means.Courage is not something independent and absolute, it is only in relation to a specific situation. Sometimes I believe that courage is simply when one takes a decision which contradicts with his own advantages and makes him sacrifice dearly. This is a simple definition but it is emotional, because we think sometimes that one of the achievements of bourgeoisie is to make people aware of their advantages, to defend these advantages and not to follow principles which contradict with their interests. I think we can specify courage according to certain situations and attitudes. We cannot discuss it outside of any situation. We need always courageous people who prefer the moral principles on all other things and I think these people play major role in our life although they are few.
