What is Hero’ism’?
It is not - doing
good to those who are good to you and doing bad to those who are bad to you, like
the heroism of the films or like the heroism of the wealthy over the poor and heroism
of the strong over the weak.
It is Heroism when you, having
been worst enemy to someone, are able to make your worst enemy your friend,
by showing forgiveness and love towards them. It is when your enemy realizes
their mistake and feels repentance to what they have been doing to you by your
kindness, gentleness, humbleness.
It is not building
up muscles in the body which may require few months or a year of hard work at
the gym
It is filling oneself with
love and mercy, so that it flows to those who are in need of these
It is not to hit back or
speak curses on someone who hurts you or abuses you, which everyone in the
world does till their breath gets exhausted
It is being able
to smile back with the coolness of a refreshing ice tea in hot summer, being
able to bless those who hurt you or abuse you
It is not
being the first to hit back or abuse
It is being the first to apologize, it is
being the first to say sorry to someone even though you are right or they are
wrong
It is not showing your biceps
or the heftiness of the body to a weak person, or defending a strong man for a
piece of money
It is defending the fatherless and the widow,
it is defending those who are in need
It is not an available
show piece in market which can be bought at a price
It is available to everyone who is willing; whoever
understands the true Heroism
It is not in the
jubilation of winning with violence or deception where there are cries of agony
and pain
It is in the jubilation of winning over with
love and mercy when you see peace and smile on the faces of those whom you have
won
To love those who love us
and hate those who hate us is done by everyone in the world
To love those who love us
and to love those who hate us is done only by those who adorn CHRIST
Heroism through violence
is not the way of GOD, but of the devil
True and real heroism is of those who are
filled by the love of JESUS, to love others in the same way and to sacrifice
for others
Worldly
heroism has fear of many enemies at all times, struggles to survive and works
hard to preserve the worldly heroic image
True heroism
has no enemies, needs no struggle, yet will be remembered forever just like the
real Hero JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF.
