Bill, Irshad here. My team and I will soon launch our own Substack, so I'm carving out the time to read more and more on this platform. I consistently find your Substack to be, well, brilliant. In each meditation/reflection, I feel myself nodding passionately to this or that insight. For this meditation, it's this insight: "Real civility is to politeness what moral courage is to etiquette." (And no, I'm not instantly drawn to it because you cite "moral courage." Rather, your distinctions resonate furiously!) As always, I appreciate you and your soul. Maybe that's redundant.
Irshad, this means more than I can say. Your own example and work have taught so many of us that civility without courage is performance and, without love, becomes theater. I am grateful for your attention, your friendship, and the moral seriousness you keep bringing into public life. And, regarding a Moral Courage Substack. Whoa! Anyone reading this, please see both https://www.moralcourage.com/ and https://irshadmanji.com/
