The Ordinary Hero Our World Needs

By Evan Sanders


A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin

We are living in a pretty vicious world.

Every time somebody rises in this world there are 100 wolves trying to bring her down. They come out in packs with their piercing sharp teeth looking for ways to destroy anything they can sink into... and frequently, they're pretty successful in doing it. It's horrid what happens to people in this day and age who are attempting to do something in this world. It doesn't matter if it's positive even, the wolves will always find a way. I suspect this is the way that it's always been? Maybe it'll always be this way.

But we need a new breed of hero.

We need a lion who truly does not concern itself with the views of those sheep who have truly never tried and failed in the arena. That's the type of hero we need. Not someone that was born great, but a woman or man who built themselves from the ashes in the depths and who will constantly take a stand for what they have a belief in and what they adore.

Wouldn't that give the people something to root for? I believe as a society we are obsessive about perfect figures - whether or not that be a body or a type of personlity. We idealize this concept of perfection and yet there actually is no such thing. What we truly need is someone who admits imperfection and celebrates it. And, in spite of having that imperfection, strives to grow every single day and bring light into the world.

We really require someone who will rise above all the nonsense and take a stand for something larger than merely cash, sex, drugs, and so on. We need an ordinary man or woman - ready to be extraordinary in faith, love, and compassion.
