Today's Hero - Is he still around?
***
Despite a story inciting the news lately, about a man whoacted more like a villain than a hero - and has everyone questioning their ownlikely behaviour if in his position - I believe true heroes still exist.
As a romance author who dedicates a good portion of eachbook to a woman's dream man, I don't have to go back in time to look for thereal thing. I find examples all around me. In husbands and boyfriends who takeloving care of their women (and vice versa) because they want them to be happy.What about the father who hasn't had a decent coat for years because he figuresthe kids need new clothes more than he does. I know of a younger man who lives next door to an eighty-seven-year-oldwidow and drives her to church most Sundays, to the grocery store every week andto her doctor's appointments - no relative, just a good neighbour - in my book- a hero.
As often as we see a story that might have us questioning thekindness or bravery of men and women today, there are as many untold storiesthat prove heroism still lives. Because I wanted to confirm this theory, Iglanced through some of the other news items and found a recent story about aregular working man who risked his life to help a police office trying toarrest a vicious felon. Another of a homeless man who'd jumped into a freezingriver to rescue a drowning victim. And yet another, of ordinary folks runninginto a burning building with the sole intention of helping those still inside.
Hero status doesn't just belong to the male of the specieseither. There are some pretty cool females willing to put themselves in dangerto help others.
So, look around you and see if there is someone in yourworld who you would consider as a hero. Share your story. It would be upliftingfor all of us to hear them, help rebuild our confidence in our fellow man…ahhhperson.
