Courage from "summary" of The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto Che Guevara
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. It is the ability to confront our fears and take action despite them. In 'The Motorcycle Diaries', we see courage embodied in the actions of Ernesto Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado as they embark on a transformative journey across South America. Throughout their travels, Guevara and Granado face numerous challenges and obstacles, both physical and emotional. From navigating treacherous terrain to confronting social injustices, they are constantly pushed out of their comfort zones. Despite the risks and uncertainties they encounter, they persist in their journey with an unwavering determination. One of the most powerful examples of courage in the book is when Guevara chooses to confront his own privileged upbringing and confront the harsh realities of poverty and injustice he witnesses during their journey. Instead of turning a blind eye or retreating into his own privilege, he chooses to stand up and speak out against the injustices he sees, even at the risk of his own safety. Another instance of courage is seen in the way Guevara and Granado interact with the people they meet along the way. They show compassion and empathy towards those they encounter, taking the time to listen to their stories and understand their struggles. This empathy allows them to connect with people from different walks of life and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. Despite the hardships they face, Guevara and Granado continue to push forward, driven by a sense of purpose and a desire for change. Their courage is not just about facing danger or overcoming obstacles, but about their willingness to challenge the status quo and strive for a better world. Through their actions, they inspire others to have the courage to stand up for what they believe in and make a difference in the world.
