Where have all the Heroes gone?

Back in the 60's or early 70's there was a song which whined "where have all the flowers gone" I guess it was the death knell of the hippie era, they all went to San Francisco, I guess.

More importantly, I wonder where have all the heroes gone? Of course, I would also include the heroines.

Where are the moral, upright people who stand for good? Where are the athletes who decry the need for drugs to accomplish great feats of athletic accomplishment? Where are the musicians who write amazing and beautiful life altering music that will stand the test of time beyond the next weeks top ten? Where are the politicians who stand for the good and openly stand against that which is clearly evil?

Where are you and I when there is a need and no one else is available to meet the need? We can all be a hero to someone. All we have to do is choose to do the right thing. Step up and speak for something or step up and speak against something that is clearly wrong.

Enough of the cheesy songs about the hero. Now is the time to be one, even if it is just for your kids. Heaven knows they need one these days. Be a hero and love and respect your spouse. You will raise them in an environment that is not perfect, but one that is seeking to teach them the right way. They need and deserve a hero. That one or hopefully two people who will stand for the good and stand against the evil, yes there is evil out there and we can do something about it.

Choose today who you will serve as a hero, so what's it gonna be? Sit and do nothing or rise and be a hero?

I wish you many successes.
