A hero
is a person who is humble, giving their whole being for the benefit of others.
This quality triumphs over all qualities, because the strong, courageous, and
bold have no place without humility. There is no value in strength, unless it
benefit others. There is no value in courage, unless that courage is used in a
way that uplifts another. This applies to every characteristic that a hero may
possess, for if a hero only uses his his abilities for self gain, then that
hero is no longer a hero, but just a person. In our world, the people we refer
to as heroes, are the people who help other people. Every hero, from
missionaries to police officers, humble themselves. Take a look at Hitler, he
had all the characteristics of a hero. Hitler was brave, bold, and courageous,
however he wasn't humble. If Hitler would have been humble, he would have been
one of the greatest heroes in history. If a person displays a characteristic of
a hero, but doesn't benefit anyone, then that person is just a person. If a
person has the characteristics of a hero, and uses it to cause the downfall of
people, then that person is not a hero. It all comes down to helping people,
and the only way you can help someone is by humility.
