Not All Heroes Wear A Cape

Not All Heroes Wear Capes

There are the hashtags “notallheroeswearcapes” and “notallheroeswearacape” that you may or may not have heard of or seen. While sometimes this hashtag is used for things not quite relating to it, it rings some truth. Not all heroes wear a cape or capes, meaning not all heroes set out to be heroes, or is someone you might not expect to be a hero.

There are over 7 billion people on Earth as of right now, and several of those people do what they need to get by, but many of those people do what they need to help others, whether it’d be because of their job, or their personality, or morals, these people are the unsung heroes. The ones that don’t wear capes, and to be honest, don’t need to, yet it’d be great if they could be recognised more often.

I’m talking about the doctors, nurses, therapists, firefighters, blood donors, organ donors, teachers, garbage disposal workers, charity donors, missionaries, clothes makers, police, and so many more, that do things people as a whole may not think about often.

Even though it may just be their job, or something they feel obliged to do, we can still acknowledge their work, what they do for the greater good.

Even if it was just a one time thing, they still contributed to making the world a better place, for all people, or for one person, or a group of people.

Everyone could be a hero at some point in their lives, if everyone just took time out of their own lives to help others, it would allow an experience of self-accomplishment and kindness. Something to take with them for the rest of their lives.

    Yet, for those who are already heroes, or have done a heroic deed, they already have that experience, or have that experience many times. So many more people could feel that, and so many people may want to do great things, helpful things, kind things, whatever it is, but sometimes, there are obstacles in the way.

Such as age, finances, influential friends or family, etc.

Even if some people can’t be the heroes they want to be, just thinking about it is good, even if a person feels as if they’re doing nothing.

But, back to the people who are already heroes, they should be thanked for all they do, for what they may or may not sacrifice for people (or animals) other than themselves.

For example, Christ Jesus is a great person/ hero for dying, probably painfully, on a wooden cross for all of mankind's sins, if you do indeed believe in Him.

Now, I’m not sure if anyone today would die for all mankind, but to be a hero, you don’t necessarily have to sacrifice your life, just your time.

We Can All be heroes
