9 - HERO


"What makes someone a hero?" Before I answer let us define first what a hero is. Merriam-Webster states that a hero is a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength. With the definition given is it true that being a hero is only a mythological character? For me it is not, going back to the question, i may say that being a hero is real. And you are going to be considered as a hero if you are this: Someone who is giving help to others in different ways and Someone who is willing to sacrifice his life for his country.

Someone who gives help. I can pretty tell that if you are willing to help other people with all your capabilities, for me you are considered as a hero. Because being a hero is not only in words, it refers upon the act of the person is doing. Now a days it so much hard to find a true hero who is willing to help his fellow country men. Even me, I cannot consider my self as hero because I do not even help others. And of course, if you are helping, the most important thing is that it should be sincere. Do not help others just for the sake that you want to be called a HERO. Examples are some government officials, some just help the people so that they may get famous and got the attention of their fellow citizen. That deed is not consider as a true hero. IT SHOULD BE SINCERE. 

Someone who is willing to sacrifice his life for his country. You may say that it is so dramatic to offer your life to be recognized as a hero. Yes, maybe but that is the point. If you are willing to sacrifice your life you may be the one. Just like the heroes fought for the freedom of our country. Because you also have to recognize your country first. Fighting for the sake of your country is a big achievement that can consider you to be on the list of heroes. 

It takes guts to be a hero. It is hard to find a hero but i know that all people becomes a hero for some time, we just have to continue doing good, not just to become a hero but because it it nice to help others and for our society to grow better. 

2 komento:

  1. Being a hero does not mean wearing capes and costumes but rather being there for someone who needs your help regardless of the situation you are in. It means being readily to sacrifice something for the sake of others. You are correct Justin it is not easy to be a hero for someone

  2. Yes, Justin being a hero doesn't mean that you need to wear capes and such. And I still hope that there are more heroes out there and by this I mean the heroic person, the ones who put others first before themselves.
