Not Exactly What You Were Expecting

A hero is not always someone who wears a cape and saves damsels in distress. They aren’t always required to carry a weapon or be the bravest person on the face of the planet. Fame and glory aren’t important to some of the real world heroes. Helping other selflessly is all these heroes need in place of glory. A man that donates his kidney to a needy person without second thought is a hero in my eyes. Without ever even meeting the person he is donating to, our hero has saved their life. Even someone as simple a school teacher can be a hero. They help children become better educated, which in turn helps the student be more successful in life. In this way, you have helped someone have a better life. Anybody can be a hero. All they have to do to make themselves heroes is to apply their being to help others. Anything anybody does to permanently change another beings life for the better, is a true hero.
