Superheroes

Batman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Robin, Superman… The list continues. What do all of these figures have in common? They all represent STRENGTH and POWER. It amazes me that we are predisposed to this supposed definition of a “hero” starting in elementary school. However, what amazes me is how our definition of what a hero is changes, as we get older. Rather than strictly relying on the physical attributes of a hero (built, tall, handsome, etc.) we begin to focus on the actual qualities that classify a person as a hero. We also tend to drift away from a consensus view of who is a hero and begin to focus on the individual qualities of that person on an emotional level. As individuals, we choose who are our heroes through our own personal relationships. Heroes are seen through each of our eyes and all possess different heroic qualities based on our personal opinions. Whether your hero is your mom, dad, sister or a dear friend, they all possess different qualities that we admire and the best thing about a superhero is that they are uniquely special to YOU.
