We have these rules, the 'hero rules.' Like, a hero doesn't slouch. A hero walks proudly with his head up. A hero walks with a purpose. A hero's always a gentleman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A hero is a man who does what he can.
Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.
A hero cannot be a hero unless in a heroic world.
What we usually do to great men and women is relegate them to homogenised heroism. Their words and actions become soundbites and images in a way that gives us an excuse not to act bravely in our own lives.
When you are a hero you are always running to save someone, sweating, worried and guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home... piece of cake.
One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being.
A hero can only be as good as the bad guy.
The only infallible rule we know is, that the man who is always talking about being a gentleman never is one.
The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference.
A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown.
