10 - Be a hero or not?

Yesterday specifically last August 14, 2015, we attended an event called "Heroes for Millennial." We listened to the speakers who talked about heroes from the past and modern heroes. Though I did not listen much at the first part because I was too sleepy (don't ask what I was doing), I did know and understand what we were talking about. Basically it was just some fact about our heroes Jose Rizal, Juan Luna, Gregorio del Pilar, Andres Bonifacio, and the one they pin pointed, Antonio Luna. There is a movie to be released at September 9, 2015 and they showed us a twelve minute preview of the show. The preview seems cool and so as the trailer. Generally we just talked about heroes being forgotten, the misinterpretations in our heroes, what a hero is and other sorts. Like I said I would put more pictures here to make it more attractive and the trailer of the movie so here you guys go.

Though that is not really what I am concerned of. A question was asked and probably the theme of their event. "Bayan o Sarili?" In English it means country or self. That question is about being a hero or not to be a hero. Seems like an easy question but in my perspective, the question is rather "Why do people choose self rather than country?" Though I heard they answered Bayan, do they really mean it? The answer might have been Bayan but in their hearts it might have been Sarili. One reason that I can think of is immaturity. Let’s take note that helping others even though you don’t have any powers makes you a hero. 

Why do I think that immaturity is the main problem? I think this image would explain the whole thing in fact this might already explain the whole thing. Let’s take a sample. When you see a girl carrying a large sum of weight like books and then you helped, that would be a good thing. But if your friends saw you they’ll be shrieking. On the other hand if you do not help them, they will think how much of a gentleman you are (Sarcasm, but you get my point). Some people just stopped caring because they don’t want to get hurt that’s why some of them get ignorant and turn into support liking the posts rather than doing something towards the main problem. Actually, that also goes the same for me. How about you, will you be the same? You know there are other ways you can do to become a hero and it’s this one. Like what was said in number 4, I am inviting you to watch “Heneral Luna” this September 09, 2015 and by this way, you can consider yourself be called a hero. Let’s help contribute by spreading awareness about heroism and immaturity and that way, we might be heroes in ourselves.

One of the main villains to fight is immaturity, will you be the hero?
