The Hero Within Us


     When I was a child, I used to think that heroes were strong and daring people. But then I realized that nowadays, heroes often aren’t the most widely recognized people, and superficially their actions don’t necessarily seem to be the most risky or awe inspiring. What it takes to be a hero is just courage and the will for self sacrifice for some greater good of all humanity. The definition of a hero always changes with the context and time. Heroes of the past are not necessarily heroes of present time and vice versa.
