A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
We reside in a pretty vicious world.
Each time someone rises in this world there are 100 wolves trying to bring him or her down. They come out in packs with their piercing sharpened teeth looking for techniques to destroy anything they can sink into... and often, they really are pretty successful in doing it. It's terrible what happens to people in this day and age who are endeavoring to do something in this world. It doesn't matter if it's positive even, the wolves will always find a way. I assume this is the way that it's always been? Maybe it'll always be this way.
But we need a new sort of hero.
We need a lion who does not concern itself with the viewpoints of those sheep who have never tried and failed in the arena. That's the sort of hero we need. Not someone that was born great, but a woman or man who built themselves from the ashes in the chasm and who will consistently take a stand for what they believe in and what they adore.
Wouldn't that give the people something to root for? I think as a society we are obsessed with perfect figures - if that be a body or a type of personlity. We idealize this concept of perfection and yet there really isn't any such thing. What we really need is someone who really admits defect and celebrates it. And, despite that defect, tries to grow every single day and bring light into the globe.
We actually need somebody who will rise above all the rubbish and take a stand for something larger than simply wealth, sex, drugs, and so on. We need an ordinary man or woman - ready to be extraordinary in faith, love, and compassion.
