"Courage is a hard thing to figure, you can have courage based on a dumb idea or a mistake, but you’re not supposed to question adults or your coach or your teacher because they make the rules. Maybe they know best, but maybe they don’t. It all depends on who you are and where you come from. Didn’t at least some of the 600 guys think about giving up and joining the other side? I mean valley of death, that’s pretty salty stuff. That’s why courage is tricky, should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you are doing something. I mean, any fool can have courage, but honour, that’s the real reason you either do something or you don’t. It’s who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die, trying for something important, then you have both honour and courage, and that’s pretty good. I think that is what the writer is saying, that you should hope for courage and try for honour. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some too."
