Sorry for the delay perhaps this could be included in the discussion page.
In my experience most teachers teach in a metaphor style. Especially those that use convoluted language and words. You have to get past the words and understand the message. We have been receiving this same message from a lot of different sources and in a lot of different ways for quite a while now. If you convert this lesson to simple English the word in question is obvious.
To me this lesson is : ''Do not be silent about the greed and arrogance which will destroy your world. When you die you cannot say 'what can one person do? you could not do anything to stop the things that are happening in this time space.' When all around you there is materialism and disregard for the continuation of human and planetary life. Stand up and act now''.
I AM Barry/Filip

Hello Barry-
Thank you for sharing your thoughts that have been added to the discussion page. I agree with your reading that also concurs with another as well. However, I am inclined to give deference to the apparent source who has chosen the word countenance, but this record of the discussion including your input will assist others to appreciate the tenuous nature of language and the importance of thinking for ourselves.
Gratefully,
Rob
