We don't see them but they change our world everyday for the better.

All it takes is that one act of kindness, a smile, an encouraging word or a hug to make a difference in someone's day. And when we are called to go above and beyond (sign petitions, speak at social gatherings, march for a cause), we will be right there to represent. <3Renee Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752642366477845341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149013154037854055.post-20366004693478448182014-04-07T13:48:14.194-07:002014-04-07T13:48:14.194-07:00Thank you, Eliana. :) This is a bit of a stretch...Thank you, Eliana. :) This is a bit of a stretch (using real-life heroes) but I had to mention the vampiric-side of me. Oddly enough, the ending to my novel is the main character being led back to the light when she encounters an angel and he teaches her that it's not up to her to seek out vengeance. It's all a process, I suppose.

People that stand up for themselves and basic human rights really do deserve the label of "real life hero's." I like your idea of the vampire that rids the world of scum. It reminds me of a dexter kind of a character...there might be a debate whether "eye for an eye" is a heroic theme. I think that it becomes complicated when you have to decide how to be heroic. <br />Great post!

Taking the chance of being laughed at or shunned is enough sometimes for me to avoid it. Dying for it is an act that defies my imagination. I hope that I have that kind of courage when the call comes. I remember in a Highschool history class learning about what happened to the Jews and finding out that some of the Germans put their own lives at risk to hide people from the Nazis I believed ,as did most of my classmates, that I would be one of the people that took the chance and helped people. The teacher told us to put ourselves and really think about what the ramifications of taking that kind of action would mean to our own and our families safety. I guess that none of us know just exactly how we will react when we are called apon to do the right thing, which in the heroes journey would be the call to action. I agree with Renee, I want to be the Hero in my own life,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01743881635552226330noreply@blogger.com
