The regime cannot dilute Diane Shima Rwigara’s moral courage that led her to stand up to a bully.
What is moral courage?
- “Real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.” Lee Harper
-
“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.” Abraham Lincoln
-
“I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.” Frederick Douglass
-
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” Desmond Tutu
Diane Rwigara, by being true to yourself despite the risks of standing up to a bully, you won. No amount of rigging will steal this.
