While valor is generally used in the context of war or the battlefield, it is,
as an element of love, linked with the act of speaking truth to power, especially
when an injustice is committed.
It is common in today’s social order to ignore the injustices of our world.
Self-absorption in one’s own world is a key threat that undermines the expression of
valor, and fear of consequence is the other. Individuals who fear consequence in pointing
out an injustice misunderstand the co-creative force of God. When we operate as co-
creators, we are ever vigilant to the incremental or sudden onset of injustice, and when it
occurs in our life path, it must be identified for what it is and dealt with.
Valor is the aspect of our love that defends its presence in the face of injustice as measured in the social order. If we don’t defend our virtues–or those too weak to defend their own - we
have separated from them and have lost an opportunity to be a co-creative force in the
world of form. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we must become activists or advocate
for a list of social causes. It simply requires that we defend ourselves and others from
injustice.
How we do it, is up to us.
