Everyday heros
Since watching Batman, I have really been struggling with the idea of being a hero. I realized that everyone wants to be a hero, with all the glory. I realized that we all have this idea that we are going to save someone with all the fame that comes with it...or at least admire someone who does. Then it occurred to me that I have always fantasized of being a hero. I have always wanted to do anti-human trafficking work and envisioned running away from shooting guns, carrying a baby in my arms, rescuing destitute children and women from brothels. But what if I don't ever do that? I realized that maybe the real heros aren't the ones who are receiving all the glory, saving people from burning buildings (or brothels), but maybe those small, every day acts are the ones who are the real heros. I realized the small, subtle, quiet acts of my everyday life may be the most heroic. So, I press on and fight the good fight. I hope you do the same.
