MODERN SOCIETY'S MODERN HERO

     Back in the olden times, heroes were celebrated throughout the world.These heroes were characterized by superhuman strength, agility, speed and other unworldly  powers. because they defeated monsters, slew dragons and destroyed the strongest of fortresses, they were called heroes.

     In a span of more than 2000 years, the characteristics that defines a hero dramatically changed. And now, in the MODERN SOCIETY, MODERN HEROES are born. Much of these 'modern' heroes are not given attention like that of the olden times and most of them are not at all recognized for their heroic deeds. These heroes work secretly,  deep in the heart of our society.

These people are modern day heroes:

Your parents: 

     Your loving parents who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their children are modern heroes. They took care for you in the past 18 years of your existence without asking for anything. They are heroes.

The doctors:

     In a doctors time span of medical practice, he has delivered so many people from sickness and death into good health.

The teachers:

     Working full-time, they do their work in school and in their homes.Though they have very little salary, their passion for their work should be paid hundredfold. Without them, civilization will collapse as intelligent people who govern and hold a society together will be scarce.Then society will fail.These people should be credited for the wealth and productiveness of a place for they provided education to people who add to a nation's wealth.

     These are just some of the modern society's modern heroes. OFW's, policemen, soldiers in hostile areas, your parents, doctors, teachers, etc., all work together to make our modern society peaceful and productive.

     But what is a MODERN SOCIETY'S MODERN HERO? he is a person who doesn't have to kill monsters and do superhuman stuff. He just need to SACRIFICE WITHOUT HESITATION, for our greater good, for a change, however small, in this nasty world.

     Just as Efren Penaflorida put it,

          "you are the change the world needs to be".
