This space could easily be hero headquarters, because I certainly write here a lot about heroes. I've asked about your heroes and said what I think it takes. I have written about a number of folks that I think are heroes. I've even quoted the wise words of Jason Chu, who in his song Marvels said "We become heroes because of what makes us human." What more than is there to say?
Well our ideas of a hero are not all the same. A hero to you might not be one to me. Lately I have seen more and more heroes and that is something to celebrate. That wonderful human factor - that love of good and decency. We all are capable of doing something heroic. It doesn't mean we have to pull someone from a burning building or out of a car wreck. We don't have to thwart an armed robbery or help an old lady who just had her purse snatched, to be a hero. Each of us can be heroes in our own way.
The many activists who stand up for justice and equality belong in this category too. The unconditional love - the "making a difference" kind of people: heroes. There seem to be more and more folks coming out and changing the world. You can be a hero too! You can make a difference. Perhaps you already are. I'd love to hear about it in the comments below. Tell me about the heroes in your life!
