Bobby D's view

A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.
Bob Dylan

I found this quote and thought I'd share a modern icon's view on the hero question. This view is very pro-service, pro-army and the host of other sacrifices one is sought to make to defend ones freedom. Again the ideal of freedom comes up, a classical notion, and the notion of the servant leader arises as well. A lot of people in contemporary 20th century society identify with Dylan, and his ideas and songs have become the inspiration for much of the music that has been, and is being produced up until today. It's interesting to see how one of the great communicators of the 20th century, someone who shaped our modern perspective, follows philosophies founded over 3 millennia ago, on a mountainous landscape, covered in olive trees.
