In most of the recent stories about abuse of women what has been missing? Individual courage.

A current example is Alec Baldwin who was interviewed by PBS “journalist” Jeffery Brown. The following quote reveals Mr. Baldwin’s failure to demonstrate courage when given the opportunity: “When women take money and are silenced by that money, even though they took the money and were silenced because they were told, beyond the money, it was the right thing for them to do, keep quiet, don’t make too many waves, it is going to hurt your career, when they do it, nonetheless, does it set back the cause of change?”

To be courageous Baldwin would have made a definitive statement. Not an open question. A statement would have required courage.

It is logical to declare that if a person does not raise an issue, the issue will not be addressed. Therefore, the cause remains static.

Even more important in this situation is what will be the impact of the decision on the individual’s principles. Some may call those principles the individual’s soul. Mr. Baldwin may be using the same argument used by the abuser to obtain a settlement. That argument is, “it is going to hurt your career”. It may hurt an individual’s career to make the complaint. The more important question for the individual is, what will the decision do to your principles therefore their soul? Will the individual compromise themself?
