What is Courage? We at eGo.com believe that courage is not the absence of fear or the inability to realize what you’re up against. That’s Lunacy and Stupidity, respectively. What courage is is that special ability to go forth against great odds, knowing what you are up against. Neil Gaiman, the best-selling author, has a wonderful little scene in his book Coraline, the book who’s film adaption lost BEST ANIMATED FILM this week, where the title character explains so beautifully, in a tale about her father, wasps and glasses, what courage truly is and how one defines it.

But we don’t own the rights to Coraline and haven’t gotten the author’s permission to use it, so we won’t be putting it here. Suffice it to say, Coraline (and, by extension, her author) use the same definition we do. If you don’t believe us you can buy the book and see for yourself.

(No one at eGo.com was paid by anyone associated with Mr Gaiman or HarperCollins for the above post, we just really think it’s a great book.)
