Most of us view courage as small steps of herosim in our daily lives. A good portion of society takes the freedoms that god has given us for granted. It's the people that have a freedom stripped from them and still go day to day living their life that really experience courage. How would you react if you woke up and your vision was gone? If the freedom of viewing the vivid colors around your room was robbed from you? The only thing for miles and miles when driving on a beautiful country road was an endless black tunnel? How would you react? When thinking of the answers to the following questions I get a sudden appreciation for the ability to look at this very computer sceen. It would be nearly impossile to recognize every person who suffers from being blind, so I'm going to use a very famous person for an example. "When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." This was stated by Helen Keller who in my opinion lived a life of courage.
