The Courage

I was under the impression that courage comes genetically. Your parents were brave and so will you. As if the genes of having dark hair or blue eyes go from one generation to another together with personality traits. Well, from my experience, I tell you that blue eyes are rather picky and don’t just pass on to people that simple. I guess this is the reason why I could not steal them from my father.

Today, I understood that courage behaves the same way, like the blue eyes, it does not pass on just 'cause you want it to. One has to search for it. And, sometimes, if you’re lucky enough and your folks insist upon searching for it themselves, their courage inspires you to go and search for your own.

I’m on my way, and I’ve got a lot to do! Which I dearly hope is the case for you, too.
