crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide In closing she called me a hero That got me thinking about what a hero is Was I a hero because I pulled a family out from a burning car If so how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone s life Today I decided to look up the word hero in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant It read a person who does something brave As I read on it also said a person who is good and noble That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave So I thought about something very important Say I was walking into the local Wal Mart Store and I happened to open and hold the door for someone as a courtesy As they passed me by I said How are you today Most of the time that would be no big deal but this time let s say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time Having been near the end of my rope after my marriage of twenty years ended I was in such a condition I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery When I returned home someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend That wonderful card probably saved my life That person without even knowing it saved a life and became a hero Gee who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero and possibly save a life just by being kind and courteous to others The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to
