6 Signs of Courage in Imam Hussain (AS) and His Revolution

It takes courage to live in this world. Because if you are alive then you need to take an action. And for taking an efficient action you need to be courageous. The courage to stand up to an oppressed person, the courage to stand up against discrimination, the courage to stop violence against animals, the courage to preserve the earth, or even the courage to listen to the news of a genocide and wish to have the strength to do something for it. But many of us do not take an action. Or do not even care. We may be afraid or may wait for someone else to do something. Say a superman or someone beyond us. 

Many philosophers from Plato and Aristotle to modern thinkers regard courage as one of the most vital human virtues. For Plato, courage is “what allows reason to rule, both in the individual and in society”. Aristotle also believes that courage is not just taking risks but to think wisely in the face of danger [1]. Taking risks is courageous, but knowing why you are taking a risk is even more important.
