I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Being busy and being a hero... Tuesday, September 30, 2008

OK. The last few posts have been really depressing. I really like to write about something nice and funny and cute, but irrespective of the way each blog seems to begin, it somehow warps itself in cynicism and ends with a dose of depressing reality. And I happen to like them that way.
I have come to believe that there is no such thing called "I am busy". There are only priorities. If I want to do something, all I have to do is to make it a high priority item and irrespective of my work load, I will end up doing it. I have been meaning to post this for last four days. Things are pretty hectic to even login to messenger and it somehow slips my mind.
Here is an interesting thought. I was watching this show, a crime drama, where in a guy commits a true act of bravery. While everyone around him praises him for being a hero, his boss is not at all amused. He says that a man becomes a hero when he realizes that the job can be only done by the man himself and not by anyone else and that shows how much the man trusts his team. Of course, in comic world or in cinemas, definition of a hero is something very romantic and very emotion stirring - in a good way. I had always liked those definitions and I believed in them. I believe that heroes are made and not born. I believe that heroes are ordinary men doing extraordinary things in certain situations. But now, I am not so sure. Most of these definitions hold good for superheros. But for an ordinary man to become a hero, there have to be so many failures around him (both people and the system) that one act of bravery (sticking to the morals, for example) makes that man a hero. This leaves me with lots of confusion and questioning my own beliefs about heroes and bravery.
