Nellis told me to watch The Blind Side and all I got from her was a “you must watch!! It’s so sad!!!” response. No matter how I phrased or paraphrased my questions about the show, the response was the same. So watching this show was not on my priority list. However, I ended up watching it today.

That show made me laugh, it made me weep, and it made me think.
I remember tearing quite badly when they used non-diegetic voice over for the literature essay. One line stuck with me the entire night

“Sometimes you might not even know why you’re doing something. Any fool can have courage; but honour-that’s the real reason why you either do something or you don’t”

So what is courage? Suddenly I wasn’t too sure myself.
It is easy to compliment someone for their courageous act, or admire someone for their courage to stand up for something that they believe it, to do the right thing and well, the list goes on. What exactly is courage?!

I’m on a quest to find out.
