A hero.

Recommended Posts

What is a hero in your eyes?

 

Someone who can destroy cities;get the girl;survive nukes;be burned alive and come out without a scratch;fight off 1 million robots.

 

Is that a hero to you? Someone supernatural, someone who will never, and when i say never i mean NEVER, be real?

 

The only reason i ask this is because we were reading the Odyssey the other day, and one of the reading questions was if Odysseus/Ulysseys could be considered a hero, considering all his good/bad traits.

 

As for these super heroes, like superman, whats so great about him? He cant die, hes super strong, he can fly... He's too good, that hes horrible.

 

A real hero in my eyes is a person who can survive through all the hardships and struggles that a normal person would go through. Someone that you can actually compare yourself too. Someone like you.

 

People who put others BEFORE themselves. People who, in their eyes, consider themselves normal, yet are amazing.

 

Firefighters, an example. They save a lot of lives daily.

Policeman.

Doctors.

 

And even the occasional citizen.

 

The person who goes through an enourmous amount of sheet just to get a few crumbs on the table for their families. People who work their ASSES off just to survive.

 

People who do go through sheet, but dont work. But still put others before themselves, people who live to please others. Not sexually.

 

Thats my hero. Whats yours?

[i]There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you[/i]

I have to wonder whether Sid takes his cliche'd posts from a specific site' date=' or whether he just rephrases whatever piece of unoriginality he's heard enough to have stuck in his head.

I just wrote whatever i thought.

 

Then your thoughts have been twisted by the Aesops that superhero comic books deliver while continuously breaking them by showing the non-superheroes to be incompetent and urging them to stay out of harm's way.
