Isn’t it interesting that the word character is a noun, describing a person by their Verb/action in the daily life. I mean other describing words like brown skin, blue eyes, big feet or small ears are all attributes we get before we are born. But this describing word is something we develop during our life journey. It develops through our decisions and choices we make along the way. A persons true character is always showing in times of troubles.
