Many people know the right thing....yet do not do it- because they lack the courage to do it

True

That is true...

Courage Still Remains the most importance....Courage being the most important does not negate wisdom or any of the other virtues use or necessity.

The Virtues work in tandem....that is the best way.

For whatever reason, you seem to be centered on courage being the most important virtue....lol.

The Native Americans had courage.

They were so brave that they were CALLED "braves" by White folks.

But the White folks who came to this nation were SMARTER.

Less courageous....but smarter.

Look who has the upper hand today.

Most everything.....except weapons and knowledge of war

I don't know enough about Greek or Roman history to actively debate you on that one.

But I don't believe it.

No human being is free to do any and every thing....we are limited in many ways

No human is TOTALLY free to do any and everything, however when you talk about freedom...the question is "free" in what regard?

Free in speech?

Free in behavior?

Free in choice?

Free in job opportunities?
Free to quit when you want?

Free to come home at any hour of the night you want?

Free to do what????

Free to go where????

That freedom must be qualified.

Freedom is limited by your Abilities Skills and Knowledge....etc

Your freedom isn't limited by your abilities and knowledge....just your ability to EXERCISE it...lol.

Though on this point I may agree with you....your reasoning has revealed a limitation

Are you saying that a man is not free to become a true biological woman?

It depends on the society.

In the United States in many cases a man is free to become a biological woman IF he can get the right drugs and surgeries done to change his plumbing and make himself one...lol.

In some nations, this is forbidden.

So Now we not free....make up your mind which is it are we free or not?

Generally speaking, we're NOT free...and I didn't say we were.


We are free individually in SOME regards.
Again, that freedom must be qualified.

So there is a limitation to our freedom after all

Thank you for making my point.

There's no limitation to our freedom, because we're not free generally speaking.

Trade is necessary for every country to develop.

Especially one showing off the shackles of Neo-Colonialism

Trade is also necessary for nations who's people are too lazy to produce for themselves.

You have a nation that can produce anything.

You can literally grown nearly every crop on the planet...yet you're begging Europe or Asia for rice and meat.

Why?

Because you're too lazy and disorganized or too busy riding around on mopeds with Ak-47 strapped across your back fighting with eachother -to actually farm and grow your own food.

"Let somebody else do the farm work."

Soon as soon as you get a little money, you give it to France, England, or Japan to send you some food to help you continue to fight...lol.

The MENTALITY must change.

Say what you want about the White racist colonists....but atleast they kept Black folks WORKING and too busy and tired to fight eachother, lol.

When the White colonists got through working the shit out of them, they only had enough energy to make it back home and go to be before getting up early in the morning to go to work again.
