Just a quick question for those who wish to participate...
How come we as a society are so quick to label people heros? Like that chick in Atlanta. The court house shooter dude. He ran into her house, and eventually, she ran out. How does that make one a hero? Now if she killed him, tackled him, or whatever, that would warrant hero status right? But thats not what happened. She didnt even calm him and distract him until police could come in and get him or find him. She just split. Which for the record is exactly what I would do. But I wouldnt want to be called a hero because of it.
Ok, another example? The POW Jessica something. Sorry, I forget her last name. No doubt she went through some shit that I wont ever be ever to relate to. But arent the real heros the one's who saved her? In her case, she rejected the hero title often and attempted to place it on those who did rescue her. But media in general loves to place that title on people. What's up with that? Just something I noticed.
