A Nation of Heroes

October 5, 2009

Who doesn’t want to become a hero? A lot of people of different ages would have always wanted to become a hero precisely because becoming a hero entails a lot of priveleges. When you are tagged as a hero, you have all the fame, the recognitions, and all the other extras that come with the title.

But becoming a hero is not easy. That is what and how I’ve viewed it then. Today, I realized, you don’t need to die for your country just so you could be tagged as a hero. You don’t have to neither write moving literary pieces nor fight for something just so you can be called as one. All we need is to share ourselves, our blessings, our efforts, our time to those who badly need it, and that in itself is an act of heroism already.

Today, becoming a hero is becoming selfless amid our own distress. Today, becoming a hero is becoming compassionate. We can all become the heroes that we want to be. We don’t need other people to see our good works just so we can be called as heroes.

In the past week, we’ve seen a lot of heroes. We’ve heard a lot of inspiring stories of heroism. This thought came to mind just this morning, “If there is one thing that we should be thankful about the occurrence of Typhoon Ondoy, that is the fact that it has brought out the best in us.” The typhoon became a bridge of people’s selflessness and compassion.

Ondoy made us realize that no tragedy or calamity could ever hinder us from becoming the heroes of our fellow countymen. It showed us that at the end of the day, our love for others is what matters most. It made us realize that no matter how painful everything that happened was, as long as we have each other around, everything will be okay.

I salute every person who came out and took part in helping our fellowmen. Indeed, you are these people’s heroes.

NOTE: Speaking of heroism, I couln’t help but be proud of another unselfish Filipino. He’s named, Efren Peñaflorida. He’s currently recognized as one of the Top Ten Heroes of 2009 by CNN. Vote for him and let us continue spreading the goodness of our fellow contrymen.
