It’s [[melancholia]].** "Courage is honest commitment to noble ideals. **The opposite of courage is not, as some argue, being afraid. It’s apathy.** It’s disenchantment. It’s despair. It’s throwing up your hands and saying, “What’s the point anyway?”" --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[courage]], [[nihilism]], [[fear]], [[anxiety]], [[personal-values]] **Source** -- [[202409180128 - B - Courage is Calling]]
