"我々の社会における勇気の反対は臆病ではなく、体制への従順である"
— Earl Nightingale

Simplified Meaning:
When people choose to blend in with everyone else instead of standing up for what they believe in, they are not being brave. Real courage is about being true to yourself, even if it means going against the crowd. For example, in history, there were many people who went along with unfair rules simply because everyone else was doing it. Think about Martin Luther King Jr., who fought for civil rights. He didn't just go along with the segregation laws because that was the norm; he had the guts to stand up and say it was wrong. If he had just conformed, there wouldn't have been any progress. So, being courageous often means being different and taking a stand, even when it's difficult.
