Real Heroes

            The word "hero" is used by many to describe someone who has performed a commendable action. This means that anyone could be a hero, whether purposely or by coincidence. I don't believe performing a single, or even multiple, actions cherished by others can make a hero. You may perform heroic actions, which is the next best thing, but it won't make you a hero. To be a hero you must have purity, justice, and nothing else in mind. For this reason, humans can never be true heroes. To be a human means to have different emotions and a spontaneous brain. What I'm describing may seem like a drone to humans, but a hero is also sentient. He can discern right from wrong. He might not follow laws, but he will be righteous in his doings. Having someone like this in the human population would be impossible. Humans would never understand that this hero was, in fact, a hero. In these times of such corruption in many governmental societies, this hero would do too much of "justice", and it would seem to us like he wanted to take control of our society. In conclusion, I don't believe that the human populace can contain heroes. This statement doesn't go without saying that humans are all corrupt, horrid, and destructive. We are still capable of producing a noteworthy individual that should be included in our history. That being what it is, we are still capable of producing those that would be villains, still in our history.
