A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
We are living in a pretty rough world.
Every time somebody rises in this world there are 100 wolves making an attempt to bring him or her down. They come out in packs with their piercing sharp teeth looking for ways to destroy anything they can sink into... and frequently, they really are pretty successful in doing it. It's horrible what happens to people in this day and age who are attempting to do something in this world. It doesn't matter if it's positive even, the wolves will always find a way. I guess this is the way that it's usually been? Maybe it'll always be this way.
But we need a new breed of hero.
We need a lion who truly does not concern itself with the views of those sheep who have never stepped into and failed in the arena. That's the sort of hero we need. Not someone that was born great, but a man or woman who built themselves from the ashes in the chasm and who will consistently take a stand for what they believe in and what they really adore in this life.
Wouldn't that give the people something to root for? I think as a society we are deeply obsessed perfect figures - whether that be a body or a type of personlity. We idealize this concept of perfection and yet there actually isn't any such thing. What we really need is someone who admits deep imperfection and celebrates it. And, in spite of that imperfection, endeavours to grow every single day and bring light into the globe.
We truly need someone who will rise above all the foolishness and take a stand for something bigger than just wealth, sex, drugs, and so on. We need an ordinary man or woman - ready to be extraordinary in faith, love, and compassion.
