Hmm. Do you know anyone with a plan, but without the courage?
I don't know if I have the courage, but I definitely don't have a plan.
I feel badly prideful the way that sounds like I'm presuming that I have the capability but not the courage - yet at the same time, I'm reminded of the end of this quote:
“We bring you here to a House for the Feeble-minded and the man who won’t accept that is the man we want. It’s a method that can be cruel but it works. It won’t do to say to a man, ‘You can create. Do so.’ It is much safer to wait for a man to say, ‘I can create, and I will do so whether you wish it or not.’ There are ten thousand men like you, George, who support the advancing technology of fifteen hundred worlds. We can’t allow ourselves to miss one recruit to that number or waste our efforts on one member who doesn’t measure up.”
- Asimov, Profession"
On the rare chance that it's that case - for anyone reading thing and thinking the same think - it's worth asking the question.
