So I think one of our problems, one of our big problems,

one of our primary problems in the culture today is cowardice,

moral cowardice, especially.

I think we can look at the state of things in our world

and we could try to provide ourselves with excuses

and come up with reasons as to why it is the way it is

while dancing around the real issue.

And the real issue is that most of us are cowardice, plain and simple.

Not all of us, certainly, but many, most.

And so you may be wondering, well, how do I know if I'm a coward?

How do I know if I'm a moral coward?

What's the test?

I think we can figure out if we ourselves are moral cowards

by asking ourselves just a few questions.

OK, so this is what we can ask yourself.

When was the last time I did something

that I really didn't want to do?

But I did it anyway because it was morally right.

Or the inverse of that, when was the last time

I didn't do something that I really, really wanted to do

and had the opportunity to do, but did not do it

because it would have been immoral.
