What acts of courage have impressed you the most above all?




I came across this picture the other day.
 

I have always thought of this guy and his actions as the most courageous I've ever known of.  I mean, to stand against a whole system alone like that. . . There's no way I could ever do that.
Then I started thinking about other acts of great courage and I couldn't come up with that many. And even the ones I did come up were fuzzy in my head. I thought of the Tubbman lady, the guy that ran for mayor of San Francisco I think, the Schindler's list German industrialist, Dr King, and maybe a couple more.  
Strangely enough, I had no problem coming up with a substantial list of dictators and bad characters.

What acts of courage have impressed you the most above all?

  • That, to me, makes it even more courageous. Im sure he took that possibility into consideration. 
    I figured that would have been his fate.  Thanks B.

  • The story of Father Damien who volunteered to work in a leper colony.  The forgotten people who stayed with the dying during the Black Death.  Unnamed resistance fighters of WWII.
