The fear engendered by a righteous act is called cowardice. To preform a righteous act because, or in spite of, this fear is called courageous. To allow this fear to prevent, or delay, a righteous act is nothing short of pathetic.
How I long for a righteous act. What is the mettle of this man? In what shapes and colors am I defined? To what parts are derived my sum?
For so long I have waited. There was a time when I could see them. When you could point them out and I would know them by name. That has changed. Miracles donβt happen here.
Are the pious also righteous? Are the sinners capable at all? Can a man be just one?
For so long I have waited for a miracle. For a spark of the divine. I have labored for this harvest, but am forbidden to partake of the fruit. Is that not a righteous act?
