Is it worth to be a hero nowadays or is it just a waste of effort???

Answer 1

Galations Chapter 6

8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Answer 2

Heroes are like shoes. They come in all shapes and sizes. Often, the hero is not aware of the impact of his deeds. The reaction of an individual to an event cannot be measured in a space of time, nor should it be wieighed by effort. The hero does not represent himself. He is adored by the one affected. The deed can be rescue from a raging fire or a simple smile at an oppotune moment. Only another can judge the hero's worth.

Answer 3

HEROS are awesome. You may not be helping the world but your helping a person. Helping ppl is such a great thing to do even though nobody really does it anymore. I think it still there. So i think it is worth being a hero it is never a waste of time or effort.

Answer 4

Your question, dear Poster, by your use of the word "worth" supposes there is some earthly reward for heroism, but as soon as one expects a reward for doing something out of the ordinary, that person is no longer a hero. The concepts of remuneration (the result of worth) and heroism are mutually exclusive, at least in so far as a single act may be concerned.

Dear Poster, I wonder why you are asking this question. Is it perhaps because you've seen some heroic police rescue of a lost child, only to be hauled into court for some misstep during that rescue? Are you asking perhaps because you have personally done something you thought was selfless yet wasn't appreciated by the person(s) for whom done?

Heroism is its own reward. I am a very religious person and some of these posts appeal to God, but I would disagree with them. Yes, perhaps God will give us a later reward, but even if we act out of expectation for that later reward we have already soiled our heroism. Heroism is a selfless act which considers nothing other than the welfare of someone else. It does not consider the prospect of front page news. It does not consider a seat closer to the right hand of God. It does not consider a reward.

Heroism comes from within. Perhaps this gumption for heroic efforts is a gift from the Holy Spirit. Perhaps. But we do not know this and so may not consider it. What we do know is this: if our own child is in a burning building, close on to 100% of us would unquestioningly risk our own welfare to try to save our child. Heroism presupposes that everyone holds a similar place in our conception of our role in society.

Would the saving of your child from the certain death of an all-consuming fire give you some certain sense of satisfaction? Of course it would, because you wouldn't be human if it didn't. Would you expect to be rewarded for saving your own child? Of course not. So too, dear Poster, if you were to be a hero, you must take a similar attitude even to strangers.

The "worth" in heroism is the knowledge that you have preserved a life or some other situation which was in peril. Seek no other reward. Yes, it is still "worth it" to be a hero.

Answer 5

There never have been heros, herorism is not defined as someone trying to be a hero, it is defined by people around them defining them as a hero. You can only define the way you are going to interact with the world, if those rules dictate that you do something that someone says is heroic and are labeled as a hero, then so be it.
The question should be:
Is it a waste to be who you are?

Answer 6

The concept of being a hero is performing a selfless act, that usually involves one putting oneself in peril to help or save someone else without the though of personal gain. If the person is thinking about what the gain would be, or not be, then this person is not by definition a hero. Acting in a Heroic way is a spontaneous action that happens without thinking of the peril one puts oneself in. So if you ask the question you are asking, you probably don't have what it takes to be a hero.

Answer 7

The greatest reward comes from the satisfaction in knowing you made a difference. If it makes you feel good inside, and it also helps someone else, then it is absolutely worth it. I'd like to think that we are all heros in some way, even if it's just the little things we do to brighten someone's day. So don't give up on good deeds. Even if nobody seems to notice, you'll feel good inside just knowing you helped someone else.

Answer 8

Okay, a hero is only appreciated if that you belive that you actions are heroic. Otherwise you could be a heroic wannna'be.
givving a lollipop to a child can be considered a hero as well on the other hand rescuing someone out of a burning building. Was either of the two worth it? Are you glad you did it? Otherwise, you should not be asking this question.

Answer 9

I guess it really depends on the definition of "Hero". Some say "Hero's always are dead." Others say "Hero's are unsung." I mean, we all know of a story from somewhere, someone helping others and receiving no credit for years, right?....So I guess it depends on whether your looking to be a Hero or not. If so, then I would say the answer would have to be, "No...it's not worth it to be a hero".

Answer 10

Define "hero"

My definition is "a person who has great courage and honor"
Courage to stand up for what is right
Courage to do the right thing- no matter what the personal cause
Honor- to deal with people fairly and honestly.

My definitions may not be the "hero" that you are looking for
but I list in my book of heros-
the firefighters, police officers and others - not necessarily the ones employed to protect and serve- the people who assisted others down flights of stairs and went back to help others, the people who provided comfort and shelter to those in need,
Our servicemen and women.
people who offer a hand up- not a hand out.
people who commit random acts of kindness. (It really costs very little, you know)

Being a hero- to me- isn't about the physical sacrifice- it's about taking action to make the world a better place

Answer 11

people continue to love and hate each other alternatively, no matter how many times you save them from danger they will just continue doing it, haha. It's really a waste of effort since a HERO can be a villain in their eyes at a blink of an eye.
