Heroism

What is your definition of Heroism?

Have you done anything heroic? Does anyone consider you a hero?

"Heroism comes from within. It is a selfless sacrifice." That's what I consider heroism.

I so agree JP, Well I have not save a life lately, but I look anything that I can help a nother person with is heroism to me.

But DB, isn't giving up your seat on the bus for a senior citizen heroism?

BTW, missed you!

-_-********#_#

It is to the person you gave the seat to.

Do you consider cops and firemen heros?

Has someone ever considered you a hero?

I am the hero to all the little breadies out there wanting to dance

Because it is a cause worth dying for? 🙂

I'm talented in all indoor sports. 😛

*leaning against the door frame with arms crossed watching DB*

Dude, your corney! I think that is why I love you!

But seriously, some people come to dxp for advice. Kinda like a last resort. You always have helpful insightful input to offer. You may have even saved a relationship or two.

Is that heroism? It may be in someone else's eyes.

No Greatbull! Tell me about your heroism. I want to know.

*grabs a wet towel and snaps it at DB's doughy little buns*

U 2!!

Hey M&M. Long time no talk!!!

What is your definition of heroism? Are you a hero is somebody's eyes?

is=in

I don't want to contradict you. I like your ideas on heroism.

I think the soldiers fighting in the war are heros. They are fighting for a cause. They are fighting for their country and for all the citizens in it.

I think the parents of the soldiers are also heros. They have given their children to their country. I was thinking about this on the 4th. I watched grieving mothers walk through the memorials for dead soldiers. They no longer have their babies. Their babies died for a cause greater than themselves. I couldnt' imagine giving my son to war. Thinking about raising him to be a decent responsible citizen then watching him go off to fight for our country. I would be proud. But I don't think I could do it. I'm not that heroic.

You also have alot of people who look up to their parents as their heros. I don't want my children to see me as a hero. I want them to know I am not perfect. I am flawed. I have been there and done that. I don't want to be on a pedestal. I just want to be loved and respected for what I have done to raise then.

heroism is bravery n selflessness?

yes, that's what I believe.

You are so lucky to have that! Not everybody does. 🙂

My parents are not my heros. I see them as flawed. But I do respect them for the many sacrifices they made in life to raise me and my brother.

I don't think I have a hero. Maybe that's what I'm trying to find in posting this thread.

wot abt u? i bet u r definitely a hero to someone

🙂

I did do an act of selflessness to help out a practical stranger. She became my best friend. I did it to help someone out and it ended up benefiting us both in the long run. 🙂

I was in New Orleans in April 2005. My b/f and I stayed a week. We met a bartender where we were staying. She talked about the city, what we should do, see, eat....then she talked about herself. We talked about our life at home. She was a cool person. We exchanged #'s and talked once or twice.

After Hurricane Katrina we called her. She and her family had evacuated to a small town in Texas. They were going to go to Houston to look for jobs. I told her the job market would be flooded and she agreed but said she had no other choice. So we called her back and told her we had a plane ticket in her name and she was coming to stay in Vegas until she got on her feet again.

We moved our son into our room for a few months and she stayed in his room. We helped her emotionally. We helped her with FEMA, Red Cross, getting a job. Needless to say, she has been here for about 10 months now. She has a wonderful fiance. They have a pretty house and she is helping him raise his children. She is doing wonderful! And she is my best friend to boot!

She tells me all the time that I am her hero.

M&M you are so sweet. Just like candy!!!! 🙂

hello ladies!

LOL! Thank you m&m. But like I said, it benefitted me just as much. She is such a part of my life and I love her so much. It was just one of those things that happened for a reason.

Thank you! You made me smile today.

When I get off of work I want to see this thread at 300 posts!!! I want more input on heroism. I want to find my superman!!!!

haha you two m&m hunni ..i will be back shortly!!!!!!!!! have fun everyone!......over && OUT!

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There?s someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It?s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

Sorry, I had to do it even on my own thread.
