The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it

Summary

This quote suggests that in our society, the lack of courage is not necessarily expressed through cowardly behavior but through conformity. It implies that people often choose to conform to societal expectations and norms, even if it means suppressing their own individuality and values. By conforming to what is considered acceptable or mainstream, individuals may avoid challenging the status quo or standing up for what they believe in. Thus, this quote highlights the idea that courage requires stepping away from conformity and embracing one's own unique perspectives and actions.
