Who is the hero? Supermen?!


Well, let’s ponder upon this question!
Defending a country, by going to war against another country, another people!
Helping a lady caring her baby with carriage in the bus, yet never seeing her again!
Volunteering for pharmaceutical treatment and experimentation!
Helping cancer patients! Visiting young patients at the hospital!
Helping a baby/cat/dog out of a nearly fully burning house! Like a firemen!
A man (body guard) protects the president by intervening and so receiving the bullet in his shoulder!
Women carrying the offspring of another lady in her womb! Medically speaking let say carrying fertilized eggs!

What this entire have in commune, is that, some one is doing the sacrifice of a life. Sacrificing their own life! All this may look like an act of heroism! But, what causes this, the over ride of one’s own instinct for survivor over sacrificing it? Is there any logic in this?

Maybe if we look at the above mentioned under a different light, we get a different image. Let say, pride, money, fame, purpose, is what gives all this situations stimuli.

If this is the case, how come not everyone shares the same attitude, after all we are all human. Compare to each other, we are existing in a different environment, so all have equal chance of mutation, if we are looking at it like a species that we are. Do this people share similar genes? Do they eat the same food? And many thousand more questions?

I let you to ponder! Because I am no supermen! No hero!
