A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
We are living in a pretty vicious world.
Each time an individual rises in this world there are 100 people making an attempt to bring her down. They come out in packs with their piercing jagged teeth looking for methods to destroy anything they can sink into... and often, they really are pretty successful in doing it. It's terrible what happens to people these days who are trying to do something in this world. It doesn't matter if it's positive even, the wolves will always find a way. I assume this is the way that it's usually been? Maybe it'll always be this way.
But we need a new breed of hero.
We need a lion who does not concern itself with the opinions of those sheep who have never attempted and failed in the arena. That's the kind of hero we need. Not someone that was born great, but male or female who built themselves from the ashes in the depths and who will constantly take a stand for what they believe in and what they love.
Wouldn't that give the people something to root for? I believe as a society we are deeply obsessed perfect figures - whether or not that be a body or a type of personlity. We idealize this concept of perfection and yet there actually is no such thing. What we really need is someone who really admits defect and celebrates it. And, in spite of having that defect, endeavours to grow every day and bring light into the world.
We truly require someone who will rise up above all the nonsense and take a stand for something bigger than just cash, sex, drugs, and so on. We need an ordinary man or woman - ready to be extraordinary in faith, love, and compassion.
