“Heroism feels and never reasons and therefore is always right” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
What separates a hero from the rest of the world?
Is it the ability to fly.. or have enough money to afford cool gadgets.. or maybe the mutant gene that he was born with that makes him more special than everyone else?
What Separates A Hero From You And I
Even in these modern day comic book fantasies, these talents are not what separates a hero from an average individual. Bill Gates has more money than Bruce Wayne ever could, but you don’t see him jumping around in a bat suit with a cape. I don’t believe that anyone becomes a hero because of any extra gifts or talents.
Are you an entertainer, politician or a hero?
A Biased Survey
Several days ago I surveyed a few of my friends and family. It wasn’t a long survey. It actually consisted of one question.
“Why did you do that?”
I wanted to know what processes were going through their heads while choosing to make a decision in life. I didn’t take notes on their answers nor did they even realize they were participants in a survey. But I was quick to judge their answers and was biased towards my own thinking. In other words, the survey was completely unscientific.
but it did bring up good conversation.
“He liked to observe emotions; they were like red lanterns strung along the dark unknown of another’s personality, marking vulnerable points.” -Ayn Rand
By what motivation do you lead your life?
Tough question.
She Wasn’t Rational
I saw her sitting on the park bench the other day. It had been several years from when I last saw her, but I had heard stories. I couldn’t believe them, nor could I believe that she would do such things. This was the same girl I dated years earlier and laughed with over the phone. As an honest friend, I wanted to know what her rationale was for doing this dreadful thing to the poor unsuspecting individual.
