Heroes

I think for a long time, and I suppose still, this question of "my hero" is one I have also struggled with. I have been disappointed many times in life by people and I have a very skeptical mind. I tend to look for both the good, AND the bad, in everything and everyone, and try to find legitimate doubts in even my most secure and comfortable beliefs.

That being said, there are certain people who I have a great deal of RESPECT for, but I wouldn't really call them my hero. I would just say they have admirable qualities that I do try to emulate, but calling them "my hero" seems a bridge too far somehow.

So, for a long time, I resolved, on this question with this answer: I should be my own hero. The idea here is that I would make my own way and light my own path, and indeed, I believe I have for at least part of my life. this kind of thinking has it's good and bad points and I think it's easy to get lost when we do this. Having someone to emulate often means we have the luxury of knowing which path to take, because we're simply copying or perhaps putting our own spin on someone else's path. So now I am at a point in life where I am not sure what I want to do next.

All that aside, I think it's possible to have a hero for a specific aspect of life. For example, I have a couple of intellectual heroes, Socrates among them. These are people who, when presented with an intellectual problem, i ask myself, "how would they proceed?"

Why do young people like socialism so much?

Im glad we made it back to civility and it sincerely warms my heart.

I admittedly get kinda heated myself at times it's not always easy to watch what you say in the heat of a discussion.

Not just html. Most thinking people also.

Ok, clearly you say this trying to be mean, but you miss the mark completely. You clearly don't know anything about me and your embarassment is warranted for making such a petty comment despite your anonoymity.

LOL

The short answer is neither, assuming we have all the facts


I think the man should have politely asked her not to recline her seat that far. If she refused, he should have gotten the flight attendent involved.
