1.a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.
2.a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal: He was a local hero when he saved the drowning child.
This came up thanks to a certain Mr Raymond G Falgui (otherwise known as Mike) who kept asking his students what they thought of heroism. It so happened that I was one of those in his class, one of those constantly bombarded by questions such as this, perspectival questions, questions that don't have concrete answers. Though I knew I wouldn't get more points for graded recitation, I gave Sir a piece of my mind anyway. And that's what I'm about to offer you, too.
As I told Sir and everybody else who happened to be listening to me, I think heroism isn't about how much money one shelves out to help others. Most people living in the 21st century probably think modern heroes are supposed to manifest heroism through this because the need for men like Hector and Rizal has disappeared ages ago. Personally, I think philantrophy should not be confused with heroism. Some people give a lot to society because they're compassionate and kind and naturally generous.
Still, there are others who go beyond just giving. These people sacrifice. These are individuals who do things they wouldn't do under normal circumstances for the sake of others. And the funny thing is these people aren't extinct at all. They're everywhere. OFW's (especially Domestic Helpers), breadwinners, social workers, etc. What I hate about their being heroes is that they keep thankless jobs. They have become anonymous. But don't they deserve glory? Even a simple show of gratitude will do!
Every day, an average person makes contact with thousands of other humans. Imagine how it would be like if one affected each person he met in a positive way. Then, we would be able to change the world by chaging the way we are.
One need not die to save a life.
