A TBM relative posted that she needed to give a talk on Courage in sac meeting and wanted help with people's ideas about courage.
She got about 5 other people posting about courage for ideas.
Here is one of the responses.
"I'm with Janet. We all know we are afraid of things, what we need is the strength to overcome those fears. I always liked the quote "Where faith is, fear cannot be." So courage, to me, centers around faith."
Whatever that meant? She got similar sounding stuff posted.
I decided to shake things up a bit and see if they had real courage, or just liked to talk about it. Here's what I posted.

"A friend of mine had this as her status today. It seems to fit this conversation."
"Please put this as your status if you know or love someone who is gay. My wish is that people will understand that being gay is neither a disease nor a choice--...people who are gay are not looking for a cure, but for acceptance and equal rights. 93% won't copy and paste this. Will you?"
"How many of us who have been discussing courage has the courage to post this on our own walls? It's one thing to talk about courage, another to act with courage. I'm posting it on mine. I hope you do too."

Unfortunately, none of them responded to it at all. Must be easier to just talk about it.
