Hero it’s a different guy. But how different? Good? Bad? To define quite perfectly a hero, let’s compare him with his opposite: the rebel. The rebel is the one who fight against the society and the system. He is a revolutionary. He has the desire to change, to ask himself if the world is really working. And now, what is a hero? I’m afraid that he is exactly like the rebel, he fights. And the most curious thing is that these two words are defined quite equally in the dictionary. Both of them are champions. The rebel is revolutionary, fighter, guilty and insubordinate. And if we analyze the definition of hero, we can even conclude that the hero is worse qualified than his opposite: charlatan, mercenary, somebody, and false god.
We can apply this theory to the reality. Rosa Parks, Mahatma Gandhi, Che Guevara, De Gaulle, all of them became who they are today, fighting, disobeying the system.
But we can’t exclude the “good ones”, the persons who became hero by their purpose, and their abilities, like John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and the Dalaï Lama Etc.
