OP I don't mean to start another thread on yesterday's tragic events in NYC, but I've been trying to piece together some sense to the President's second set of remarks. He made two separate references to cowardice, once referring to the perpetrator(s) as a "faceless coward", and later something about "cowardly acts". I get the rhetoric of the stab at manhood and all that, but I'm curious as to what you all would think about the literal designation of the concept of cowardice.
It's one of those philosophical nouns that I've always had trouble wrapping my head around in certain contexts ~ kind of like forgiveness. I'm capable of forgiving, but not always, and I've never been able to adequately define the concept...
