Stone #24 - The "Bravery Stone"

"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live."

-D. Thompson
There was a threat of a mass-shooting at my school today. Someone had written said-threat on a bathroom wall last week, and since the threatening graffiti was found (on the men's room wall) school has been chaotic.
Nothing happened, but I opted to go to my class today (even though students were exempt without penalty if they were afraid...) -- I wasn't afraid though, I figured that it was a hoax from some disturbed individual, and even if it wasn't, I decided that I wasn't going to be this person scare me...
If we live in fear, we really aren't living at all...
