Heros

        Dovahkiin, Superman, Thor, Spiderman, Mario

         The list of make believe heroes goes on and on. All make believe, and before all the die hard fans attack me just hear me out. Why? We live in such an advanced world, there's crazy amounts of technology, there's people everywhere, organizations for just about everything.
So why, there are obviously heroes everywhere, people taking time out of their day to help, to carry an injured person, to sit with someone through the night. Why is there a need for these make believe characters?

         Some people have planted themselves in history, but it's pretty plain to the eye that a lot of people get looked over and taken advantage of. There are some people in this world, that would give someone the shirt off their back in a heartbeat. And the only thing that someone can muster most of the time is a "Thank you" and a backstab later. (I'm well aware that some people are genuinely thankful for peoples help, but there are quite a large amount of people who don't care to be appreciative.)

         I've done my fair share of being hero for people, but its been quite a while since I've done any crazy amounts of hand holding. Don't get me wrong, if someone wants to talk to me for a bit about something, I'm all ears, and I'm definitely not above giving someone a hug or giving them a lift to church if they ask. In fact if anyone asks me to be some sort of helper for them, I'd do it in a heart beat. But, I don't search for people who need help. Because most of the ones you find (at least in my experience) are the ones who do it for attention. And attention seekers are the ones that will get you.

         You can try and flip the world over for them, put a halt on your day, and put everyone around you on hold, but they will only care for a moment, if they even care at all. Let me repeat this ONE more time, I'm not saying this is all people, just a fair amount of them, so don't go getting angry. But there are some people who will take your good intentions and stomp on them. They will try and bring you down, and try and put you below them, reading to far into things you say, insulting you, jumping to conclusions when all you said is a "How can I help?"

         It's a mad world.
