[QUOTE="Valiantheart, post: 968712, member: 10165"] I think the fact that this question even has to be asked reflects exactly what is wrong with the modern day of reasoning. Now most everybody lives a pampered life and sits back in their comfy homes/apartments, gets on the net or tv and expects things. They think they deserved what everybody else in the world has even though the aren't unwilling to put in the work that those people did to gain them. Why cant everybody be a hero? I could run the country better than him. If i worked out I could play as well as Jordan. I deserve love and happiness even though I put no effort into finding either. The simple fact is some people are just better than others. They are born bigger, stronger, smarter and simply more determined. They seek and take what they want while the rest of us sit on our collective asses and expect it to be handed to us because we think we somehow deserve it. Adventures/Heroes are those people born with those inherent gifts. Your Achilles, Batman, Rand al'thor, Raistlin, Arthur Pendragon, Drizzt Do'urden, or Michael Jordan. Each of these are men who are simply better than those around them. They were born stronger or posses the inherent discipline and desire to be better than everyone else. [/QUOTE]
