RE: Where are the heroes

Well said @tarazkp.

"We want more from their experience without the resiliency to endure even the slightest discomfort or a timeline that doesn't gratify our immediate needs."

The word sacrifice and courage come to my mind, upon reading your post. How many today, if asked "for what purpose, what cause, would you be willing to lay down your life?" would have any answer beyond "nothing" ...

And the courage to sacrifice? I cannot improve on the statement made years ago by a great man I had the privilege to meet:

"Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the will to do the right thing in spite of fear!"

Thanks for another great post @tarazkp!

Sacrifice is a lost concept in individualism perhaps. The "right thing" is only valuable when one is living with the repercussions of behaviour with others.
