What is a Hero?

To me, in comics and otherwise, a hero is someone who rises to the occasion and above their limitations. A person who tries to help others. It may be a moral person and it might not be. A hero isn't perfect, far from it. Being a hero doesn't make one any less human than the rest of us. Although, very often, it is the more common variety of human that assumes a hero is somehow perfect. And I think that's where the problems start.

i totally agree with you there. It is not the superpowers that makes one a hero. But it is the ability to help others inspite of their weakness and human frailty. Nice post here sis.

In our own way we can be heroes ... because we may not be that strong but we have the ability to help those who are less fortunate and really weak.

Super heroes are above human beings ... they should not possess human frailties and weaknesses to be able to help ... they should be above the rest.

Superheroes are superior to humans ... but they are still humans ... no human being can be perfect even in the make-believe sense.

A person who tries to help others. It may be a moral person and it might not be.
*****************************************************************

It has to be a moral person ... because people look up to them ... a hero has a strong sense of moral values ... that is what drove him to help in the first place!

He is sensitive to the plight of others, he extends a helping hand without waiting for a reward. Whatever he gives he gives it from the heart.

If we are so cash strapped and we have nothing extra to give we can say a prayer for mankind and not just pray for ourselves.

Can you read my mind?
Do you know what it is
You do to me ...


Don't know who you are
Just a friend from
Another star ...


You can fly
You belong
To the sky

You and I
We belong
To each other ...


If you need a friend
I'm the one to run to
If you need to belong
Here am I,


Read My Mind
