A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
We live in a pretty coarse world.
Each and every time an individual rises in this world there are 100 wolves attempting to bring him down. They come out in packs with their piercing sharp teeth looking for methods to destroy anything they can sink into... and regularly, they really are pretty successful in doing it. It's horrid what happens to people in this day and age who are endeavoring to do something in this world. It doesn't matter if it's positive even, the wolves will always find a way. I assume this is the way that it's usually been? Maybe it'll always be this way.
But we need a new breed of hero.
We need a lion who doesn't concern itself with the opinions of those sheep who've never stepped into and failed in the arena. That's the kind of hero we need. Not someone that was born great, but male or female who built themselves from the ashes in the chasm and who will regularly take a stand for what they truly believe in and what they really adore in this life.
Wouldn't that give the people something to root for? I believe as a society we are obsessive about perfect figures - whether or not that be a body or a personality. We idealize this concept of perfection and yet there really isn't any such thing. What we really need is someone that admits defect and celebrates it. And, in spite of having that defect, endeavours to grow every day and bring light into the planet.
We truly need someone who will rise up above all the foolishness and take a stand for something greater than simply wealth, sex, drugs, and so on. We need an ordinary man or woman - ready to be extraordinary in faith, love, and compassion.
