Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the ruling groups and the intellectual elite, causing an impression that the loss of courage extends to the entire society. Behind every great man there is a surprised woman. No leader can be too far ahead of his followers. You just have to learn not to care about the dust mites under the beds.
