Thank You, Hero

ynetnews.com — On Wednesday we had a chance to see a hero. What is heroism? A pure moment where education, ideals, and mental preparation come together and prompt a person to knowingly risk his life without considering personal benefit.

  • vegasnews, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10More people should be like him.
  • Solsies, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2The personal benefit in this case appears to be that the person wouldn't have to look back at the situation in the future and feel horrible about not doing anything.

    Everything every human being does is selfish.
