Everyone in this society, no matter
what, strives to exist in a heroic state. That is, people want to show their
superiority and maturity in dealing with matters. As I have mentioned the word
“strive”, yes, people think that being heroic needs a lot of effort and
struggle. With this concept in mind, many develop definitions of their own and
act according to that. Whatever may be the definition, the concept remains the
same. Also there are a lot of misconceptions among the people regarding this
matter.
“Being
authoritative is what makes me feel superior” – this thought is one of the
great misconceptions. This thought in turn leads to increased aggressiveness in
the temperament. Even a child, from its very tender age, is brought up in such
an aggressive temperament to maintain the pride and superiority of their
family. This nature reaches its zenith during adolescence. The youthful spirit
fans the fire, turning them into bullies and letting away politeness and
decency.
First
of all, superiority doesn’t show up with the bully outlook and character. I’ll
tell you what makes a person heroic. A heroic person should not subject himself
to cheap thrills and pleasure. All humiliation and the negative feedback he
gets from others doesn’t affect his manhood. He is an optimistic person trying
to manipulate himself to be a better man through the available tools. That is,
he grasps the opportunities firmly.
He
finds a meaning for his existence and accepts things as it is. This clarity and
clever mind set gives our hero, a stylish look and charisma. He can address a
group or the public in a more easier way without any hesitation and with direct
eye contact, entertaining verses and a touch of humor. Last of all he would
never try to be superior and that is what makes him superior.
Unlike
the olden times, the modern cinema portrays the hero with the similar qualities
that I have mentioned above. This is the true portrayal of a hero. In some
works like Byron’s ‘Harold’s pilgrimage’, the heroes are outlaws and
rebellious. This aspect can also be added. The hero represents himself,
naturally, as what he thinks that he is. His views are true and he justifies
his views, by pointing out the laws of nature. That is nature would not keep
anything, which is not according to the accepted elements. In this sense, the
hero and his temperament remains still alive in the nature’s destiny. So his
views are true and in harmony with the nature.
“So, Are you a
Hero????”
