Heros and Villians

It’s amazing that in today’s world we have heroes and villains just like we see in the movies and on TV.

But when we see these people in everyday life, we mostly overlook them or we consider the source; uneducated, stupid, morons, idiots, and the list goes on and on.

But our local heroes, the original founding families, who tamed this wild stallion that we call Mesquite, were much more strapping and active minded, thus true heroes.

Some negative rhetoric is when we hear about a wannabe hero who spent an hour one week doing something with a pauper that he should have been doing all along, stealthily.

I personally get tired of hearing how some rich Hollywood pinhead did something and then wants to claim the acknowledgment to look important, and it’s all for naught.

Or we have some big deal rapper or some prima donna sports figure who thinks they’re something special, boasting about this or killing that or whatever they think they’re doing.

Or maybe someone gives up the interest that he made on his puny savings account, and then demands his tax write off.

Loser is the name that comes to my mind, but Villain is more appropriate since they think that they’re big heroes, and they don’t even know what they’re talking about much less the terminology.

This attitude is also seen in our workplaces from the top down, nothing but lazy, whiners crying about how hard it is to be a hero, and that it’s easier to be in hiding as a villain.

It’s not uncommon to hear a worker say, “I don’t want to learn how to do that job,” even when it part of the job requirement.

Or a worker play stupid and say, “No one has ever shown me how to do that job,” when in fact he did the same job yesterday.

Some people who have been hired to work just whine all day long and constantly find other things to do other than their specific job; another looser (Oops villain).

But to move the cloud of smoke aside in order to see what I’m talking about, let’s take a look at what a hero is all about.

One of the biggest fallacies in being a hero, even on the reality TV show named, “Who Wants To Be A Hero?” is that everyone dresses up like a costumed hero or clown.

Heroes don’t hide their identities, because they are regular people, unlike your average cartoon heroes like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.

However in real life, all villains do attempt to conceal their true identity, since they are truly criminals or cheaters and they don’t want to be revealed.

One group of people who are heroes, even from the beginning of our Nation’s founding, are the veterans (men and women) who have strived to protect us and keep us free.

These are people who are ready to lay down their lives for someone else, whether in time of war to advance the cause or in time of disaster to save lives in our local communities.

Heroes are also found to be firefighters, and the police and sheriff departmental people, both men and women; therefore, my hat is always off to these brave heroes.

In our schools as well as in the workforce, there are heroes and heroines who stand out from the crowd of losers, better known as villains.

The hero or the heroine makes success happen, because he or she is a team member who subdues the villain, as they step up to meet any and all challenges.

Villains are always afraid and shrinking back, looking for a chance to cause division, and cause the hero to fall in disgrace, for there’s no compromise for the ‘Dark Side’.

In our legal system or justice system there are villains lurking behind dark robes, locked doors, and with pompous degrees.

The word villain is noted as, “a character who is typically at odds with the hero.”

Knowing my enemies as well as I do, the villain definition will be brought before the activist judge and he will state that a villain is good if not better than the hero.

And judgment will be made on the hero because the definition of a villain is negative and not PC Correct, namely “ahero.”

This is all because the villain wants to claim the ‘fairness doctrine’, because they’re not as smart as the hero.

As one Neanderthal stated one day, “Define the word ‘is,’ please”; however, I will say, “Define the word ‘hero,’ please.”

In the end, however, you decide who the hero is and who the villain is, because you alone must make the choice between good and evil from within yourself.

I know that ‘good and evil’ is not PC Correct, but then I’m always at odds with the villainous brotherhood or sisterhood who don’t know what it’s like to live in a socialist state.

Live without your American given freedom for one day, and you will know freedom.

You alone are either the light source and the hero or the source of darkness, the epitome of the villain.

Therefore step up or shut up, villain, because a hero doesn’t have to boast or prove his or her legitimacy.

Of course you can always believe or sing the song ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon, and believe that everything is make-believe and that you’re all one pinhead.

I prefer to sing Mariah Carey’s ‘Hero Song’ that states, “There's a hero if you look inside your heart. You don't have to be afraid of what you are. There's an answer if you reach into your soul”.

“So, when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong, and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you.”

This is a victory song if you ask me, and it brings a tear to my eye, just like the National Anthem does and the Pledge of Allegiance, “under God.”

So what I am is probably the question of the day, but I’ll let you tell me who I am, because I have no doubt as to the correct answer.
