Hi Avani – That’s a great song.

Hi Jarrod – I guess a sword would make you feel like a hero! Also, your point about “breaking internal barriers.” I think that’s very connected to being a hero.

Hi Tess – Your comment, I think, builds upon Lance’s. Heros create change, but they also create meaning out of chaos.

Hi Roger – Your comment brings up a good point. Overusing the word “hero” dilutes real heroism.

Hi Chris – “Doing incredible things in the world” – I like that for a definition of “hero”

That’s why everything is so chaotic today. We’re watching the old systems fall away. They will be transformed into love, understanding, acceptance etc.

Greg Brayden has a new book out and I was listening to an interview someone did. He said our lesson during these difficult times is to let go of fear and help and understand each other. Eventually we’ll find out we like it and that it works and therefore it will become our new way, or our new world.

Every time I break down an internal barrier of my own, whenever I make someone smile or teach someone something that matters I feel like I am doing my heroic bit.

Doing what must by done by my code, not by the rules of the world.

Whenever I hear the term hero, Mariah Carey starts singing in my head …

“There’s a hero,
If you look inside your heart,
You don’t have to be afraid of what you are,
There’s an answer,
If you reach into your soul,
And the sorrow that you know will melt away. … ”

Just think of someone who is afraid to set foot outside. For that person to take a step onto the lawn is heroic.

While we can all be heroic in our lives, I think the term “hero” is highly overused. Each of us can have heroes in our own lives but media types love to throw the term around without much regard to what it means.

For me, I would like to see the term reserved for extreme acts of selflessness rather than used whenever someone just does something “good”. The latter acts should be part of our everyday lives rather than something to be rewarded for.

As always, you have a great way of making one think.

Namaste’
