Vocabulary

1. Stash (noun) - Hiding place for material property

Courage, I seemed to think, comes to us in finite quantities, like an inheritance, and by being frugal and stashing it away and letting it earn interest, we steadily increase our moral capital in preparation for that day when the account must be drawn down.

Nobody can steal my money when its hidden in my stash.

Own Logic - I have a stash that I keep my money in.

2. Dispense (verb) - to distribute

It dispensed with all those bothersome little acts of daily courage; it offered hope and grace to the repetitive coward; it justified the past while amortizing the future.

My pez dispenser distributed candy to all my friends.

Own Logic - I learned it from the words "pez dispenser"

3. Aggression (noun) - a forceful action or procedure

A war of national liberation or simple aggression?

He beat me up in an act of pure aggression.

Antonym - National liberation is an act of relieving forced actions.
