On heroism.

Everyone can be a hero in a country where greed and the love of money governs, by showing a rare value of honesty even to small things. An initial test for a bigger entrustment in the future. For how can one be trusted for bigger things if he can’t even be trusted for little ones.
Everyone can be a hero in a society where pride and self glorification is the common pursuit, by sharing and offering the success or greatness to the nation whose heart longs for the love and patriotism of her people.
Everyone can be a hero in a family under attack of social stress and disintegration, by performing the expected role and duties ascribe within the hierarchy and by protecting it from any external threat of destruction so that it can continue its purpose as basic unit of the society.
Everyone can be a hero in a community where sense of individualism is the paramount interest, by emphatizing the circumstances of the needy for their basic material sustenance through responsible community action, sharing a peak of abundance in life, thereby, easing their pain of continued struggles in life.

Everyone can be a hero in a group where material competition is the evident trend, by setting as an example for simplicity and contentment in sympathizing those who have nothing in life.
Everyone can be a hero in his own little way, beyond opportunities and circumstances. For heroism, as one nationalist put it, “is not just about dying”. You don’t have to face death to be a hero. It is also about living-an exemplar life.
Where there is chance or opportunity… be a hero.
