Having the courage of your convictions

I've just been thinking about this phrase. It's an important thing to hang on to, but so difficult in practice.
When we tell ourselves that we really ought to be doing something or saying something about the wrong things we see happening, it is so easy to let ourselves off the hook by telling ourselves we are over-reacting or that it is not in our long-term interests to take action.
Maybe the solution is joint action by like-minded people.
