True courage is like a kite a contrary wind raises it higher

Summary

This quote highlights how true courage is often forged in the face of adversity. Just as a kite reaches greater heights when faced with a contrary wind, true courage is shown when individuals rise above challenges and obstacles. It suggests that difficulties and opposition actually serve to strengthen courage, pushing individuals to demonstrate resilience and surpass their own limitations. Rather than becoming discouraged or giving up, true courage thrives and grows stronger in the presence of opposing forces.
