HERO

A hero is an ordinary man who springs into action without a plan who gives himself freely with nothing to gain and perhaps everything to lose or a hero is a woman who seeks not glory but a simpler way to aid another by jumping into the fray often blind to the risk involved but fully intent on the problem to be solved -- helping the helpless get out, being calm while others shout in fear, steadfastly steering the course in the face of disaster operating faster than the eye can see or ear can hear yet without a complaint though totally resolute -- awake, alive, absolute -- with that being said, I guess a hero acts in the moment defined to be greatness refined -- gallantry without pageantry, action without regret, in service to others the self selflessly gives where others may choose to forget .
