Buddhism for you -- Courage 29

Meeting new people and opening fresh channels of comminication require courage and initative.

Likewise, discrimination and envy are also two sides of the same coin.

"Of all base passions, fear is most accursed."
This declaration, from Shakespeare, calls on us to lead lives of courage and to act intrepidly for justice and people's happiness; it implies that cowards, because they are ruled by fear, are pitiful.
