What makes a hero a hero?

"If everybody was satisfies with himself there would be no heroes."
-Mark Twain

What is a hero? They are everything we want to be. Selfless, giving, self sacrificing; the best of us. We idolize heroes because, even thought they have their flaws, they are put in extraordinary circumstances and come out victorious. If we thought of ourselves as perfect than there would be no traits that we aspire to have, and as a result no heroes.

    I love your last sentence saying it would result in no heroes, cause it really wouldn't. That is the beauty of our lives today. Not everyone is the same, and everyone knows that. Its what makes us different from the world. To that, I know heroes are all not the same, but they all carrying the common traits like you described, Selfless, Giving, self sacrificing. Great wrote up!
