Heroism is accessible. Happiness is more difficult.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Heroism often results as a response to extreme events.
Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.
There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one - keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy.
Heroism is endurance for one moment more.
On a normal day, we value heroism because it is uncommon. On Sept. 11, we valued heroism because it was everywhere.
Heroism in a bad cause.
Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.
You can find heroism everyday, like guys working terrible jobs because they've got to support their families. Or as far as humor, the things I see on the job, on the street, are far funnier than anything you'll ever see on TV.
Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.
The opportunities for heroism are limited in this kind of world: the most people can do is sometimes not to be as weak as they've been at other times.
