Who's The Hero?

Familiar with the word 'villain'? Well, here's what villain is according to http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Villain :


A villain is an "evil" character in a story, whether a historical narrative or, especially, a work of fiction. The villain usually is the bad guy, the character who fights against the hero. A female villain is sometimes called a villainess. Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines villain as "a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel; or a character in a play, novel, or the like, who constitutes an important evil agency in the plot."


We watched so many Hero movies. In fact, we have plenty of the well-known ones, such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Daredevil, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Fantastic 4, Power Puff Girls, Teen Titans, Megamind, even Ben 10. So many I couldn't even mention each and every one of it without browsing through Google.


So, what do Heroes do?
They save the world, obviously.
The matter of how they do it, what power they have, with whom they work with, it's just a variation; Saving the world, that's the goal.


But,
saving the world from who?


Here comes the villain, or villains. For every hero, there's at least one nemesis that he/she keep on fighting endlessly, no?


Anyway, here's what bugs me,
Have you ever notice that some villains say that they want to destroy the world, THIS world?


I do.
And that makes me wonder. Hey, dude, you live in THIS world. So why you wanna ruin your own home? If the world are destroyed, where would you live? Freak.


I used to think that way.
But then I realized...
We, humans, are not so much different that those villains.
We live here, in this earth, in this world, but we--with many hows, slowly but sure--putting a stake through Mother Earth's heart. Slowly, painfully.


And we still don't reckon ourselves as 'evil'.
We see those who rape, kill, get drunk every minute, doing drugs, steal, and we say they're evil for taking the rights of other people and stuff. But we never really realized that we, together, are contributing to destroy this world we live in.


So... if we are the villains, who's the hero?
The hero lies within us.
We are our own worst enemy, after all.
If we don't try to fight, we will lose. And this battle is endless, it carries on until the day we die. Nobody said it's going to be easy, but we can start slow. We don't have to be like Megamind, who turned 180 degrees and all, but we can.


Let's start now. Be a hero for your HOME :)
