Heroes of The Land of Newerth
The Land of Newerth means the land of
the new modernized world we are living today.
In today's modern times we hear the
word hero all of the time. The news media throws the term around as if it is an
everyday word. What exactly is a hero? Who, or what, can be classified as
heroic? The correct definition of the word hero is: One invested with heroic
qualities in the opinions of others. That is a fine definition for books and
intellectual minds. To the average person, however, a hero is much more.
To better understand what a heroic quality is it may be easier to describe what a hero is not. Nearly everyday on television people talk of athletes and celebrities as being heroes, but are they? To put it mildly, they are not heroes at all. Possibly role models, but for the most part, not in possession of heroic qualities. When Michael Jordan and Bruce Willis, by risking their lives, save an abandoned child from a typhoon they will possess the qualities to be called heroes in my opinion. Policemen and firemen are at times classified as heroes. Until they prove themselves they are just ordinary people. The title heroic is not given by occupation, rather by achievement.
So what exactly is a hero? Parents are true heroes. Most parental units sacrifice time, money, love and everything else for their children. When times are tough good parents do all they can to make things better for their children. Mothers and fathers often work two jobs, late at night, or on weekends to provide for their kids. Sometimes when in danger, they always decide to die for their children in order for them to live specially when in times of war.

There is a saying: “Yesterday is
History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, But Today is a Gift That is Why it is Called a
Present.”
This means everyday of our life is a
journey and adventure. Life is very precious and we need to spend it according
to the Commandments of God. Sometimes death is everywhere. We do not know when
it will be. Each of us are called to be adventurers because we live in this
small world. Sometimes we need to choose something that is better for us and
everyone else. But can you choose between life and death? Do you want to die as
a hero or live as a coward? Many of us sacrifice our lives for the good of our
country or ancestors. True heroes always have the heart of sacrificing. These
people who sacrifice today called heroes of newerth.
