Cause

I always wonder at the people who, through the ages, have had the courage to fight for their cause. People who had the vision to see what was right, and to confront it.. seemingly without flinching. People who didn't have the vision, but who still believed in the right and the good, and followed those who had the vision. People who stuck to their cause at great personal cost. Who lived and died by their cause. How did they do it? Of what were these men and women made?
