Summary

This quote implies that when confronted with a situation where we clearly know what is right and just, choosing to ignore or neglect it out of fear or hesitation indicates a lack of bravery. It suggests that true courage lies in doing the right thing, even when it is challenging or unpopular. By failing to take action on matters of morality, we demonstrate a weakness of character and an unwillingness to stand up for what we believe to be correct.
