Have you ever wondered what makes someone a true hero? Well if you haven't I strongly recommend pondering that. Because when I did it made me realize that heroes, aren't just from fairy tales. They aren't just really hot guys that got bitten by radioactive spiders or made into the ultimate human weapon or even the one that got a nuclear heart transplant to keep shrapnel imbedded in his chest from killing him. True heroes don't exist solely for the entertainment of others. Sometimes real life heroes don't even get to the "Happily Ever After" part in the story. Sometimes, their stories end. They get cut short.
If I had to define a real life hero I guess they have a lot of the same qualities as the comic book ones. Real life heroes are the people that run into burning buildings. The ones that chase the robber down the street, the ones that save the kid from the abusing, alcoholic parents. They are the people that jump in front of the moving car to push someone out of the way. They take a bullet for a stranger. However, something that separates them from the comic books is that these heroes hardly ever get recognition. They go un-named, un-noticed, and un-rewarded. These are the people I admire the most! People like firefighters, policemen, soldiers, and even the occasional linemen. We put so much stock in the whole " no good deed goes unpunished" thing. That we don't even see them when they happen anymore! We are so focused in on all the bad. That when good things happen it's almost like we can't except it. So thats what I'll leave you with. Remember to except the good. To see your real life heroes and embrace them. Say please and thank you to the lunch ladies because even if the food wasn't all that great they didn't actually poison you. Wave to the mail man. High-five the dry cleaner. Because real life heroes are alway there when you need them.
