Hayfever... Oh joy.
My hay fever has really kicked in these past two days. Yesterday I helped out a little bit with cleaning out the pond in the back garden, although my dad and sister did most of the work (*feels a little guilty*). I’ve done a little revision this weekend, but nothing substantial, so I’m going to have to treat these next weeks like school days and get up early and work properly to get anything done. I have finished the majority of P2 basic work, so I can tackle the monster that is P3 integration soon… *meep* oo;.
I hope to get onto Religious Studies and Design & Technology work by midweek, if things go smoothly. Oh, and I’ve got to prepare for Japanese Writing; can’t forget that o.O;…
Oh a lighter note, I got to see and hold our resident frog when cleaning out our pond ^_^. I think it’s the one that I took from a friend’s pond back before GCSEs and helped grow in our fish tank. When it was big enough, I put it in the pond. Poor thing is lonely though methinks… I need to find someone with frogspawn or some small frogs to put in. But the frogspawn we’ve tried to introduce in past years has never yet yielded any ‘froglets’ (I love that word ^-^ - even though I don’t think it’s an actual word at all :P).

Hmmm. My mind’s gone blank right now. I can’t recall what else I was going to write about, but I’ve just started an interesting conversation about the nature of courage, so it’s distracted me a little ^^;. I had really always considered that courage had to be some quality only moral agents possess. But in this discussion I was forced to think about it a little more. Would, say, a suicide bomber be courageous in their actions? Most would argue the action itself is wrong, but does it still merit courage? I’m inclined to bow here and say I was probably wrong to think courage had to be for a virtuous purpose, but I suppose in some sense, the suicide bomber, acting on their religious beliefs and for their country, may be seen as doing a virtuous action. Can it be courageous to knowingly kill a person in revenge, in front of a law official, even if you know you’ll be caught and sentenced to death yourself afterwards?
So I ask, what is courage? Please leave some comments ^_^.
