"Hero" is commum word betwen any kind of community. No matter the country, the city and the culture, always there is a hero. Our childrem watch, hear and read about heroes. in the cartoons they get special powers, like to fly, to manipulate fire, water. They have a poweful vision, and get unlimited strenght. there are another kind of Hero, the Super-Stars (singers, actors, atleths) these are who has impressive skills, they`re above the average.
Everybory when child dreamed to be a hero, to be special and save the world, yes, i did too. since the first time we figured out the bad things that happen in the world, like murderers end death, we want to make the diference and save the World. But as soon as you reach the adault age we give up.
why? what does the life experience change in our point of view?
Actually, the life experience brings us a lot of changes. Changes in our mind, bory and behavior. when we are child we don`t know how to make diference betwen the real and the fiction. We just belive. And if the spiderman can save the day, i can do it too.
But the life teachs us that our heroes were pure fake, fiction. we see people killing, people dying, starving childrem begging for food. Then we ask ourself: where is the heroes? and you can only hear the silence and a awkward feeling. Then you realize that heroes are fiction, just don`t exist. Wow, what shock! If they can not save the world, could i do something? definetly not, we say. the life shows us that our heroes die by overdose. "Our heroes are fakes or addicteds".
the Only person that serves as a model for us is Jesus. He`s the ideal model, the perfect exemple for imitation. He is what he is caz He does more than to manipulate the fire and water, He created both. His vision is more than powerful, He sees everything. He has much more than unlimited strenght, He is the strenght. He is not a fiction, He is real. He`s not a creation, He is the Creator. The Creator is not addicted, He heal the addctions. The Creator never disappont the creation.
If we get Jesus as a model, certantly we`ll make the diference. If we try to be like Him, to live like He lived, we`re going to be heroes as well. That`s the way we can save the world.
Always that you behold something wrong, and ask: where is the hero? He will be there, sure, the real hero will be there, Jesus Christ.
Who is your hero? Who is your model?
