In my opinion, this is a very important statement, and it is so true. To make this really simple and easy to understand, have you ever seen a wimp stand up to anything. In case you think you have, then it's probably not a wimp you saw, but I person you would never think as brave because you didn't know them very well. Everyone has courage in their hearts, maybe not all, but it takes a lot of guts to show that courageous side. Tom Baker started up the Peasant Revolt in 1381, he was tired of oppression and wanted no part of it any more. He was the first to stand up to an official, and his courage brought others out to the light. John Ball agreed with him, and over time so did everybody else. It took courage in order to stand up to such great power, and Tom Baker had it. There are also modern examples of this, for example, standing up to a bully. Not all people can do this, they're afraid for where they'll end up. Many people in today's world have this problem. Some things, like courage, take five seconds. Sometimes though, it takes a lot longer. Either way, in order to stand up to oppression you have to have the guts and you also have to be aware of the outcome. And that, my dear friends, is what truly makes that statement so true and so important.
