"A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep." Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
The world we live in can be tough to live in at times. While it does nurture us all, it's hard to ignore the fact that it can tear us apart at times.
But it isn't the world that challenges us as much as the people who are walking upon it. It seems that every time someone tries to spread a positive message, bring light out in others, or bring positivity into the world there are thousands of people who try to tear them down.
It's unfortunate that our society is based upon gossip and bringing people down. What ever happened to supporting a cause and making the best out of things? No matter the movement, the cause, or the message, the wolves eventually find their way and attempt to bring these everyday heroes down. It's inevitable. It's to be excepted.
It's time for a new type of hero.
The world needs a group of lions who are so deeply rooted in their principles and values that no matter the opposing force they cannot be taken down. We don't need people who are doormats, but rather individuals who are willing to fight for what they believe in. We need people who are willing to stand for an idea beyond themselves and not compromise on those beliefs.
The people of this world would finally have something to really root for.
But why is this important?
Because we need to regain our belief as a race. Every time someone has risen there has been an overwhelming force to try to get them to fall and they usually do. We need people to rise to great heights and stay there. We need role models. We need heroes. We need something to believe in so we can in turn believe in ourselves.
What we truly need is someone who is willing to admit defeat and openly accepts the fact that it is part of the process. And, despite falling, they bring themselves back time and time again to their purpose of bettering the world and the people in it.
It's about time we had people in this world who are doing things for far more reasons than simply things that they want in life. It's time for the unselfish hero.
It's time for extraordinary men and women to rise.
We need a new breed of everyday hero.
