Heroes are everywhere in this world, in every shape, size and color. From policemen, to firemen, to veterans and just plain everyday people. We can all be a hero, it is just a matter deciding who to put first, ourselves or others. For professions such as soldiers, police officers, and firefighters it is not a choice. They risk their lives daily for the well being of others. Some people might wonder why, such as myself, but I believe that it is because they see the importance of human live. They see that this random person they are saving is a mother, father, brother, sister, friend, to someone out there. They know that it is more important to help these people get back to their lives, safe and happy, rather than save themselves. To me all of these people that risk themselves daily are truly selfless. They bring hope to community's, cities and even nations because of their selfless actions.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are the people who only look out for themselves. Everyone probably has a different reason for saving themselves instead of helping others around them. Some people might be afraid of death, which causes them to panic or others might think they deserve to live opposed to the person standing next to them. The people who think they are better than everyone are truly selfish in my eyes. They obviously see no value in human life and they do not care about anyone or anything except for what they are going to get out of the deal. Often times these are the loneliest people, because they push everyone else away (sometimes literally). In most TV shows and movies these people are often the victims. They think they can handle everything on their own but in the end they are the ones who need to be saved.
So next time there is someone in need or a disaster in the area, do not just simply walk away and pretend there was nothing to see, make a choice, to either be a hero or a victim.
