POL 211- FALL 2019- CORNEL WEST INTERVIEW
QUOTE: "There is no freedom without unbelievable, unprecedented, unstoppable courage and courage is not widely distributed in the species" Today's world is all about image and status, instead of honor and courage. Most people are afraid of freedom, there is a tremendous cost to not being free, but most people like the comfort of being told what to do. “Most people would rather conform and be complacent". One of the best things you can do in life is to inspire, encourage and enable other people to do more good for the world. I chose this quote because I believe there is no happiness without liberty and no freedom without courage; courage is the most important of all virtues because without courage you cannot practice any virtue consistently. Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.
