The word is "Poltroonery." Basically, it means cowardice, but it sounds so much more like "chicken" - *grins from ear to ear.*
Poltroonery, so newly re-named for me, has long been one of the weaknesses I despise most in humanity, and in myself. By fear we allow ignorance (a form of slavery), oppression, misfortune, misconception, and we allow our own souls to fester inside of us. Only by a profound courage - to accept truth, to shoulder responsibility, and to face the world unashamed - do we, as a species, move forward.
