Most of us think that we have to achieve something big in life to be a superhero. After all we want to be praised and earn a name in this world so that we can can out stand others. But did you ever try to see things from a different angle? We must change our way of thinking. Because life is all about how you see things through different perspectives and you can change everybody's lives around you. It is said that your thoughts run your life and it is absolutely true.
Nobody notices that newspaper boy who delivers the paper whether it is summer, winter, autumn or spring, that maid who works the entire day cleaning other people's houses to meet her two ends and earn a living, the peon who does petty jobs in an office or the quiet watchman who guards the neighborhood when everybody is sleeping. They are definitely ordinary people in the society, who do not get any attention at all but not everybody can do their specific job although they are a simply dot in this world. Why not call them superheroes? Can you live your life without these people doing your work? We all know that it is not possible. Everybody has their own role to do so that everything can run smoothly like butter else it would be chaos.
Moreover if you ask a doctor or a lawyer to try for a day to wear a simpleton's uniform and work as a peon, carpenter or shoe polisher, it is going to be hard for him because he is not used to that. It looks simple but in fact it is difficult to accomplish but yet we consider those people as useless or unimportant most of the time. Maybe it is because of the social class structure where the rich people are given much respect and the middle class or poor people are given less respect. It all varies according to what you are taught. But we are all human beings who seek for that respect so that we feel good about ourselves, it is in our nature and nobody can deny it. Respect is the first step to any relationship else you end up insulting or degrading that person in front of everybody without any hesitation. We all know when we go to a restaurant how waiters are insulted if they don't deliver the orders of the customers well although at times there is exaggeration.
Furthermore a woman who gives birth to a baby, a father who toils hard to feed his family, an elder brother who abandons his education to work in the fields so that his younger siblings can go to school, a handicap who plays the guitar on the streets to earn some pennies and an elderly man who does not retire and work to buy that diamond ring that he once promised his wife are all superheroes in their own ways.
We must have to identify our own hero, it could be your mother, father, teacher, maid, grandmother, grandfather or anybody who surrounds you. Just observe well and you will see how many heroes will emerge and you will be surprised, not only spiderman, batman or superman are heroes but human beings who actually do something for their family and community, who face hardships everyday, who teaches others what is right and what is wrong and to be careful of this evil world.
