Heroes of our
time
"A hero is a man of heroism."
In turn, by definition, heroism is a heroic act performed in a
difficult situation. But what is heroism today and, most
importantly, what should be a hero in our
time?
We have learned that heroism
can only be a great thing and affect the lives of at least hundreds
of people, and the rest is not counted. Many people think that all
the great deeds were done by someone long ago and that there is no
place for heroism in the modern world. How wrong they
are!
When it comes to heroes, in
our imagination, first of all, there are characters from Greek
myths, children's books or science fiction movies, and then we
think of firefighters and rescuers, but does the list end there? In
fact, the protagonist is not a fictional Superman or Hercules in
the legends, but even a very real and simple man. Yes, in our
troubled times, it is not a matter of sacrificing oneself for a
great idea, but of saving what one has and worrying about what will
happen next. Whoever is honest and fights for the truth, today
there is complete deception everywhere. Who is not afraid to speak
openly and make fun of his point of view. Who is ready to help
without asking for anything. A person who still retains some of his
sincerity and knows the word "kindness."
The modern character slightly
improves the world around him: he shares bread with a homeless man,
chases a dog from a neighbor's child, helps Aunt Valya in the
second entrance to carry a heavy bag and does not throw garbage on
the road. . She works seven days a week so that her family does not
need anything, and even when she is tired, she finds time to tell
stories to her children. He loves his country and his relatives. He
can find a way out of the most hopeless situation, smiles for no
reason, and gives this smile to a passer-by. It can be short or
long, it can be physically strong or weak - who cares how
attractive it looks if it is beautiful inside.
Modern heroes never throw
rubbish on the ground, do not help the elderly, do not warm
homeless animals. Such a person values his family, parents, works
hard and, of course, loves his homeland. The hero of our time does
not respond to evil with evil, he makes the world around him kind.
It doesn't matter what color his skin is, what his height is, what
his religion is. It is not in vain to sacrifice your life or take
unintentional actions, it is enough to carry humanity, light and
hope for a better time.
Heroes are people who give
hope to the world. Honesty, love for life and others are their
qualities. Today you do not have to sacrifice your life for
something or someone to become a hero, as long as you do not lose
your human qualities.
There is no doubt that heroes
have always been, are and always will be, only the number of
problems. You ask, "How many of them does the world need?" you ask.
And the answer is very simple: "The more it fits, the
more".
