Yet all around us, new heroes emerge daily from politics, sports and entertainment. There appears no shortage of heroes in America. We love our heroes: unquestioningly, uncritically and to excess. We venerate them as role models; we put them on pedestals.
We don't realize when we raise some people up, we lower ourselves in comparison. Through hero worship, we wind up skewing our view of life into a struggle to emerge on top, to achieve public esteem, to be judged as better than other people.

We forget "A hero is a man who does what he can." ~~Romain Rolland
