[QUOTE="milotha, post: 1537661, member: 17122"] I'm inclined to say that someone can be a hero regardless of their motives. You don't have to believe strongly in something, you don't have to be good. You don't have to be altruistic. Sometimes you are in the right situation at the right time. Instead, if enough people who witnessed your actions believe that they were for the greater good or benefitted others, then you can be a hero. Other people make you a hero, you don't declare yourself to be one. What causes others to consider you heroic? The actions usually break down into aiding others often at your own risk or deteriment. If enough people are aided, then you can achieve hero status. Perhaps you did the actions because you were depressed that day. Perhaps you did them out of revenge. Perhaps you did them because you wanted to be noticed. Yes, you may have done the actions for more high minded reasons, but there are other cases. [/QUOTE]
