1 Million Heroes

There they are, trying to save the world.

In literature the concept of a hero is someone always trying to save the world.

In the story, there are good guys, and bad guys. The hero is supposed to be the good guy that runs in to save a potential victim from harm. A hero can come in many forms.

In a sense, the hero finds no actual comfort because he or she spends their entire life trying to save the world. He or she rarely has time for family and friends.

It’s a great concept.

The bad guy is a great concept also. He or she sees reality and people for their darker wants and needs. They tend to see things from the angle of truth rather than innocence.

The bad guy at times is also known as evil, but in reality there’s something more going on in the fight between heroes and villains.

How do we all perceive ourselves and our surroundings plays a major part in each concept?

How a wise man thinks is the first step. If a man thinks that a hero can’t save people that don’t want to be saved, then that man sees things totally different.

At that moment, the true comprehension is reasoning with how the mind works.

So after seeing people die from overdoses, after being in terrible relationships, after helping people over and over again, the quote comparing a hero to a tragedy, brings on the question of if one million people are trying to play the hero, the real question is what role does the other billion play?

On a personal note, witnessing someone suffer right in front of me, I learn what I’m afraid of. What I fear the most is a world with no heroes. A world of people who simply sit back and watch. 

The End.
