It takes courage to preserve integrity...

I can't think of anything as lacking in principles and honesty of intention, and as evincive of weakness, perhaps selfishness, as one who can band together with even fucktards, just because one cannot beat the fuckery - so one says: 'man, if you can't beat them, join them.'

But then it takes courage to sustain one's integrity, because believe me, this dunia will test you in ways you never would've imagined. And courage, like Aunt Maya Angelou of blessed memory said, is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
