This is a wonderful post by Deaconess Ersula Jerkins that she said I could share on my blog... The Problem with Seeing Yourself as the Hero. Since as far back as history can take us, mankind has lauded the hero. Ancient tales survive of Sir Gawain and Ulysses, and when heroes became common enough we created super heroes like Superman and Spiderman. Face it; we are a species obsessed with heroism. In a world so full of evil it’s not hard to imagine why we’ve romanticized about some dark, handsome, muscular character(don’t hate on my hero description) coming and making our lives better and safer by fighting all the evil lurking in our nightly news reports. And because we’ve so openly salivated for such people there’s a lime light ready for those who are deemed as heroes by society’s standards. Now don’t get me wrong, people who have risked their lives to help others or given of themselves to help others should be thanked kindly. God is pleased by the acts of selflessne...
