[QUOTE="DammitVictor, post: 7398021, member: 6750908"] A weak man can do nothing for which the people would love him. A weak man who stands up to the terrible foe is not a greater hero than the powerful man-- he is a [I]speed bump[/I] to those from whom he would protect others. There is greater glory in the hero who stands up to the more fearsome foe-- very true-- but it is not glory that I covet. I am driven by [I]compassion[/I]. And for a man to give much to the world... he must first have much to give. For a man to teach the world, he must first have great wisdom-- lest he find that his gifts are not blessings. It takes [I]incredible strength[/I] for a man to heal himself. How much more strength does it take to heal others? [b]EDIT:[/b] My one true hero in this world is Fred Rogers. He was not a loud man, or a violent man, but he was [i]absolutely[/i] a strong man-- a man who could command authority so effortlessly that an untrained eye might not notice. He entered his adult life with a mission. He identified what power he needed to pursue his mission, and he [i]cultivated[/i] it; he sought the power he needed, and he was great because he [i]remembered[/i] what his power was for. He remembered what [i]all power[/i] was supposed to be for. If my ambitions would be bigger than his, in a different world, it is only because a different world offers bigger opportunities. In our world, I write silly books that help people dream of being Big Damn Heroes... and if I can do that while reminding them, gently, what a Big Damn Hero uses his hands for before he closes his fists, then maybe I can say that I've honored one Big Damn Hero's Big Damn Legacy.
