Who Are Your Heroes?

I can't really think of a hero.m it is interesting to read who others look up to.

Maybe I put too much onto a hero. People let you down, often painfully.

Fictional characters: Mr, Spock
He is in a society that does not value emotions, looking to logic only. But, he has emotions that often breakout. He allows Kirk and McCoy to see that emotional side. I am drawn to his logic and even not buying into emotions. He has them and he copes well.
 
Ohh @Mal Content, David Suzuki and Noam Chomsky, and Ghandi and and. Well, you've named them all ahah.
Except Che Guavera. That smelly man was someone to admire also I think.

And my Grandfather.
He was a man on another level of manliness.
Poor chap rescued my insane, illogical and shit of a wife Grandmother from her abusive family before he even had a single clue the world of crap he was getting into.
But, true to his word, he stuck by her cheating mean old ass to the end.
And when she birthed and raised 3 dimwit daughters who were her mini me's, he stood by them as well.

Never a hen pecked man like him.
Not once did I see him raise his voice (though the look of impatience he would often give his wife was unmistakable) a hand or even a glance of anger at any of the women in his life.
Right til his very last breath he was there for them, no matter the hurt they caused him.

I doubt there'll ever be a man that will live up to his legacy in our lives, and I strive to this day to be all he dreamed we would.
Expect for the swearing. Sorry Pop, ill never get my head around that, like all the women in this mad brood.
 
I believe (a bit to my surprise) that there is no such thread yet. So tell me! Who are your heroes?

They...

@Radise re:female pilots and your comment

I saw a Pink truck once and written on it, this statement " MY OVARIES ARE BIGGER THAN YOUR BALLS!"

I grinned wildly:D and never forgot it.

:p:p:p;)
 
Abraham Lincoln, Jesus of Nazareth, Harriet Tubman, the current Dalai Lama, Dr. MLK, Jr., Gandhi, Nelson Mandela. I think there must be more, but these are the ones who immediately come to mind.
 
2 guys on bikes in Stanford U. Saw a rape in progress behind a dumpster and chased down the rapist, held him until police came and stood up as witnesses. Two different kind of young men from the monster. Heroes.
