I’ve recently become a bit of a Heroes fan. Just after Christmas, I started plowing through the DVDs of the first season with hopes of being ready for season 3 which premiers tonight. In season one, I loved Hiro’s desire to save the world, Peter’s commitment to follow his heart, and Claire’s desire for anonymity.
Many of us harbor the secret (or not so secret) desire to be a hero. We want to do great big courageous things, to demonstrate valor in the face of adversity, to stare danger in the eye and not blink. Unfortunately, we wait and wait in vain for the big, splashy
“black swan” opportunities where we can save the day.
