Fighting the Current

The word "hero" is not in the thesaurus.

Just finished writing my definition of a hero. I put it together in Word with a good picture of Gandhi at the top. I highlighted key words and changed the fonts on those. Can't do that here though.

"a hero is a person who fights for what he or she believes in, no matter the cost. . . a hero is a person who seeks no glory, and accepts none, seeking only the betterment of others. . ."

To quote my great-grandmother, "A dead hero is still dead." Don't do stupid things to try to gain people's respect or praise, whatever glory you have gained cannot bring you back. Most people would rather be alive than only remembered fondly.
