If you are waiting for someone else to make a difference in your life (to
rescue you, to save you, to make your life better, to make you whole), then you
are wasting your time. No one but you can make your dreams come true.
Hero worship has existed "forever"... it seems that humans have a need to
worship someone or something "greater than" themselves. Whether we choose to
worship an external God figure (like a saint), or a hero figure from a comic
strip or movie, or the movie stars themselves, the concept is the same. We look
up to someone else, someone other than ourselves, as "better than us" or
"higher" than we are in our esteem and opinion.
Webster's has two definitions for hero. One which is similar to the
concept mentioned above, and that is: a man of great courage, nobility, etc., or
one admired for his exploits.
However, Webster's has a second definition for hero, and this is the
one I'd like us to consider: the central male character in a novel, play, etc.
(heroine is defined as a girl or woman hero in life or literature). For the sake
of our discussion, let's consider the word hero as applying to both males and
females.
So a hero is the central figure in a play... Being that, as Shakespeare
so well put it in "As You Like It",
....
