➪ It's hard to be a hero

🇬 🇴 🇴 🇩.

It is a word that naturally brings a smile to our faces. A word that makes us feel pleasant about ourselves. If somebody tells us 'Good job!', we feel proud in our skin.

Bad, on the other hand, is a word that makes us feel ashamed, apologetic, and angry, in some cases. It's an insult, a criticism.

Now if we take a look at Wikipedia, which is very unnecessary here, good values are those that are reality-based, socially constructive, and controllable. Bad values are those that are non-reality-based, like superstitious, socially destructive, or uncontrollable.

The balance between good and evil is very fragile. A thin line that some people hold tightly onto while to other people, it doesn't matter a thing.

I'm not going to ramble about the righteousness and virtues of good people we call 'heroes'.

Let's talk about villains instead.

Villain. The world defines such a character as a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crimes.

But not all villains are utterly wicked. Now, wouldn't you agree with me? You've been a villain too, on some days, just like me.

Let's be honest,

It's hard to always be a good person.

It's hard to be a hero in a world where good and evil coexists like identical twins with miraculously opposite personalities.

It's hard to be a hero in a rotten world that keeps breaking you down, that keeps destroying you mercilessly. Why are the villains to blame? They weren't born that way. The world, people around them, and society made them what they are so please stop hating the poor guys.

I mean, come on, I sympathize.

There are two kinds of people in the world: heroes and villains. It's quite simple. In the eyes of the world, those with healthy minds, filled with positivity, that gets up every day to smile and make a change are the heroes, and those with rotting minds and drugs in their system who only cause trouble and are a nuisance to society are the villains.

Those who can't afford the luxury of being heroes become villains.

Then there is another kind of person. Like you and I. The one who isn't all good or all bad but a strange concoction of both. Like a mix of two different breeds.

What do you think we should call such a person? People who treasure both good and evil in their minds. A person who can treasure and loathe the world at the same time with the same heart.

I think life is the hardest for a person like that.
