Definition Essay On True Hero

What exactly is a “true hero”? Many things can describe what a true hero is but there is no certain definition of what it truly is. To me a hero can be anyone, maybe the lady walking down the street is a hero, not to you but definitely someone. A good hero is hard to find because they are a genuinely a good person who put people’s needs first before theirs. Most heroes have compassion. The difference between a hero and a villain is their concern for others around them. Putting other people’s needs before their own is humbling and it requires conscious effort and dedicated balance. Examples of people who put others before themselves are Abdul Sattar Edhi and Irena Sendler.

Abdul was a prominent Pakistani philanthropist, social activist, and humanitarian, who had to start taking care of his ailing mother at age eleven. Not only did he help his sick mother, he also help others in his city. At age nineteen he was forced to leave his hometown and relocate to Karachi, which is a city that had no resources. Abdul has dedicated his life to helping the poor. Now he takes care of millions of men, women, and children who are without resources that are needed

The strong commitment usually requires a deep personal sacrifice. The difference between a compassionate person and a hero is usually their response to give up something that others will be better off without. To be a true hero you have to be willing to risk losing your free time, social status, your economic advantage and wealth, your comfort and security or maybe even your life. You’ll have to give up something that is very important and very personal to achieve the greater good. Honestly, what makes a hero any different than the average human? It’s that they value their goal and are determined to reach it and do whatever they have to in order to succeed. Examples of people who sacrificed something for the greater good of other people, are Shiva Nazar Ahari and Maximilian
