Hero's

What's in a hero? what makes a hero a hero? why as humans need hero's in our lives?  Since last week I've been trying very hard to understand why we all need heroes, someone to believe in or someone to motivate you to do better.  And that hero is always someone way older than you and they always did something courageous, not always your parents either (for bringing you life). Why can't we be our own hero?  Do we really need that sense of reassurement from someone else to be able to get though life.  I know to someone I am probably a hero for being deaf and going through life that way and having to deal with the taunts and teases.  but have I actually done anything worth being called a hero?   I dont think I have, at least not for that person.  A hero should be someone who challenges minds and provides hope of peace and love, they should be strong and clever and made an incredible difference.  Now think hard, has your hero done any of that?  Have you? if the answer is no, then you need to find another hero to believe in because the one you have isn't doing its job,
I read somewhere that Hero's have to go through a transformation.  That transformation could be anything, from birth to coming home from an adventure.  In that sense we can all wake up tomorrow and be heroes, right?  there's nothing stopping us from calling ourselves heroes, especially if we have nothing else to call ourselves.  And on that note I am ending this blog today with a question: Who is your hero?
