Hero

"If everybody was satisfied with himself there would be no heroes."


-Mark Twain


I believe this is a excellent choice because you have to think of the possibilitys that may occur if there weren't any heroes. If the world somehow was satisfied with everyday life and had no one to solve any problems, the world would have no use of heroes. People think heroes are men and women who fight demons or dragons in fairy tales, but new heroes can be like firefighters, police officers or even the army. If people had no need for these people, then whats the point of life. When Achilles fought in the Trojan Wars, He lead the Greeks into battle against the ancient city of Troy. He was satisfied with himself, having no need to fight in battle. When his cousin died, it gave him the will to fight.
