Courage
Our current militaristic society sees courage as patrolling in gangs with automatic weapons. This is typical of aggressive cultures, which foist their will and values upon others at gun point (previously, at spear point). This is not courage. This is bullying.
As population pressures and environmental pressures worsen on this planet, future generations will be faced with very difficult decisions. War for resources will be a natural progression from where we are now to that time. It will take a great deal of true courage to shape a future of universal human rights and universal human justice.

Courage is living a life committed to nonviolence and justice. Courage is walking your own path in the face of scorning conformity. Courage is accepting responsibility for living a life of service to humanity. Courage is choosing to do good for others over your own comfort and selfishness.
As population pressures and environmental pressures worsen on this planet, future generations will be faced with very difficult decisions. War for resources will be a natural progression from where we are now to that time. It will take a great deal of true courage to shape a future of universal human rights and universal human justice.
