Most people are cowards. Even honest cowards will admit it. Extraordinary courage is extraordinarily rare. That’s what makes people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer so remarkable.

*Most people are cowards. Even honest cowards will admit it. Extraordinary courage is extraordinarily rare. That’s what makes people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer so remarkable.*

I read him up on Wikipedia. Sounds like an interesting fella. Hung at age 39. Sounds like heroes don’t live long. Think JFK, MLK, RFK. They all upset the apple cart.

Are there any heroes out there that may have had a death wish or enjoyed living life on the edge and paid the price? I’m thinking Pat Tillman and those 4 in Lone survivor. Can’t question their bravery just their judgement.
