Recently, I have been hearing the word "hero" used a lot on the news and reading it in the paper. But, the ones they are calling a hero, really are not heroes at all. They are playing "games" is all they are doing. Football, baseball, etc. Yes, they may be good at what they do, but that does not constitute calling them "heroes". They are paid millions of dollars to play a game and that is all they do.
REAL heroes are the ones that are out saving lives, doing good things to help someone else. Here, on the news, a little 10 year old boy, saved his best friends life from choking. He IS what I call a hero. The soldiers that are fighting some wars we shouldn't be in, laying on, or throwing away hand grenades and having their limbs blown off, saving others around them. They ARE heroes. Yet others, trying to feed, cloth, home all those that have lost everything, they ARE heroes.
If some of those that only play games and get paid the millions they go, actually DID something good with all the money they make, I might then change my mind. But, I know they won't. Yes, there are a very few that actually do some good things. But most lavish themselves with big homes, jewelry, etc. If they all got together and put some of that money they have together, maybe some things could be changed or a lot of good done.
Until I see or hear about something like that, then these "game players" will be nothing more then what they are...."game players". Worse yet, many of those people make more money then the president does, that's a little scary. Playing games and getting paid millions for it, maybe everyone should be doing it. There wouldn't be any famine, etc. cause everyone would be making millions just "playing games" and getting called "heroes" for doing so.
