Word for the Day: Friday, August 20, 2010

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.

This word is often misunderstood, with people thinking it means "absence of fear". Actually, no fear is either a neutral thing (where there is no frame of reference for being afraid), or an artificial thing, often called being foolhardy.

Looking at Domestication (weekly theme), it takes a lot of courage to effectively bring up children, especially when giving them some autonomy of their own.
