We like to tell the world how hard our life is, don't we.
Many of us are going to be with love the drama queen, especially on Facebook.
How many times do we read I have a cold oh pity me. I have had a very bad day, please, please pity me.
Yes, how many times are we proud of little things we've done. And how many of us likes to tell about our hero shopping. How we got this and that and for the cheap price of thaaaat.
Let's be honest, we all like to write about this and read about it. Newspaper live from that and magazines. Blogs everywhere got feed everyday with your energy of wanna know the newest cloths and the biggest pain we oh so went through.
But what about ourself being a better person? I mean how many times do you repost those smart letters of being a better person, of being grateful, of being more in love and aware what you do, of helping without any question of getting something back.
How many of us loves hero stories but where are we?
Do we wanna be heros? But then, does a hero wants to be a hero?
When we look on the films and the stories we know, we must say no heros wants to be a hero, mostly not at first sight. But those heros are those for a special situation, when we need courage.
Something many fail to live up to as many are afraid of their own courage. Many fail to remember that their have bones in their back. And at least many have learned the penguins principle.
That's why horrible things happen each day. That's why mobbing has it so easy.
But then there are those people who just do, no matter what. Everyday. They help or just stand up against all odds. Sometimes movies are telling you about those.
To be true you don't need the cinema to see things like this. Just watch out on the streets and then remember the question. Why should you do? Why get up? Why help?
You could stay home. You could ignore. Do you have a choice?
Oh yes you have and many are just to god to be blind in that case.
Haven't we heard the question- what choice do I have?- What can I do? - so many times?!
We have because the play of staying a victim then being the creator of your own life seems to be more easy and is a learned thing in most cases. But if you wanna get happy, wanna have a chance you have to be aware that there is always a choice, even know, it is not always an easy way you are going to choose.
Like with that man on the pic. I watched him many times going and coming from work. Going step by step and taking the way out into a world he otherwise could not discover. You see how hard it is for him, as he cannot really walk and even his walking stick is not the biggest help. But he never gave up. He always goes his way slowly but he does. He has not much money, he is not going to travel all around the world but he is getting up and out of the house. He could say- why should I. He never will have the same chances as the most of us naturally have. He will most likely never be rich, have many friends but he is trying to reach out the hand to the world to make sure he got any chance because otherwise there would be none. He sure can have it more easy to come forward but would this make him stronger or going where he wants to? No. His self esteem is stronger then most of us will believe it could be for each of us.
He is for me always a reminder of never giving up, even when you have a tough time. It could be worse and he also shows me that I could take more then I maybe believe I could now. He just does.
To overcome each day the fear of failing and just do it- that makes you an everyday hero. Just by trying to live your life.
These are the thoughts for this throwback thursday.
