The New Hero

By Evan Sanders


"A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep." Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin

The world we live in can be tough to live in at times. While it does nurture us all, it's hard to ignore the fact that it can tear us apart at times.

But it isn't our world that is as vicious as the people who walk upon it. Every single time someone tries to rise there are thousands working against them to see that they fall. These individuals come out in hoards with the intent to sink their teeth into "the lights" back and tear him or her to shreds.

It's unfortunate that our society is based upon gossip and bringing people down. What ever happened to supporting a cause and making the best out of things? No matter the movement, the cause, or the message, the wolves eventually find their way and attempt to bring these everyday heroes down. It's inevitable. It's to be excepted.

It's time for a new breed of hero.

We are in need of a lion who can fight back based on principle and courage. We need a lion who has stepped into the arena time and time again and knows the great defeats and victories of life. We are in need of the person who is willing to step up for the greatness of others and who knows how to build themselves from the ashes of darkness.

When the lions rise from the darkness, we will have a great light in this world.

But why is this important?

Because as a society we have lost our ability to believe in anything. It's not really our fault that every single time someone comes up in the world they fall for one reason or another. But if we have someone who understands that they aren't perfect and who doesn't attempt to be, couldn't that change the game?

What we truly need is someone who is willing to admit defeat and openly accepts the fact that it is part of the process. And, despite falling, they bring themselves back time and time again to their purpose of bettering the world and the people in it.

We are in need of someone who is willing to stand for more than just money, sex, drugs, and everything that is so cliche that has come before him or her.

We need an ordinary man or woman ready to be completely extraordinary.

Calling all new heroes.
