Courage is a virtue
Courage is a virtue
As a kid, I watched a lot of cartoons. Some were memorable and had an impact on my life, while some were not. One of the most memorable was a cartoon called ‘Courage the Cowardly Dog’. You can probably see from the title that this cartoon was very interesting. It has had a big impact on my philosophy as I have learnt life facts from watching it. I believe that I wouldn’t be the same person that I am today if I never came across it.
I think it’s safe to say that as a kid, I did not know and understand a lot of things. The world to me was in black and white. You were either the good guy or the bad guy and when I watched TV, I always liked the good guys. This was how I felt when watching ‘Courage the Cowardly Dog’ but all that started to change as I grew up. This cartoon was about a dog named Courage that was adopted by a woman named Muriel. She found him abandoned on a trash can hungry and needing a diaper change. Her and her husband, Eustace, were on their way home when she saw him and immediately fell in love with him. Courage loved Muriel for being nice and loving, almost like a mother to him, so he always took care of her.
As you can probably see from the title of the show, Courage’s name is a contradiction of his actual personality. He got frightened by almost anything and was always suspicious of people and activities that happened around him. They lived in the middle of nowhere, which was what the place was called and therefore, had no neighbors. This was also contributed to the paranoia that Courage had all the time. A lot of strange things happened in Nowhere like aliens coming from the sky, random creatures popping from the ground, and even a Succubus. As you can imagine, Courage was scared to death every time. So with all this happening around them, Muriel’s life was always in danger as she was kidnapped multiple times, forced to marry a “goose god”, and even transformed into an alien. Courage always protected and saved her even
