How do you define hero, and who is a hero in your life?
A hero/heroine is someone who would willingly put themselves in danger in order to save a fellow human being in need of help. They do so with the full knowledge that it may be the last thing they do, like the firemen who ran up those towers to rescue those in need, they knew it could be their last move, but they did it anyway, because they wanted to save those in need of help. They, and many like them, are heroes,and a hero is someone who performs heroic deeds,with no thanks necessary.they perform heroic deeds as in saving lives, preventing harm to people, animals, etc.
For example, if a cop off duty stops a robbery, he is heroic, but if he is on duty does it make the cop less heroic? No.
Let me put it this way, not everyone can be a cop. The cop is putting his life on the line whenever he stops a robbery regardless of whether or not he is being paid.
Firefighters are paid and voluntary, are the paid firefighters less heroic?
I don't think so because they are still out there putting their lives on the lines.
Heroism is something purely unselfish, but once you put a motive in it (e.g. to get time in the spotlight) you lose the virtue of the act. Also one does not need to die to be a hero. My hero is my mother because she tries to do everything to make us happy.
