The 'race of man' is generally gready, self-centered, prideful, and downright mean.
It's when people go against their human nature when true strength and courage is shown. We don't point toward a greedy person and say he's strong. We point toward the person who did something good even when commen sense said not to.
"I wanted you to see something about her-I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin an you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." -Mr. Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird
