A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
We reside in a pretty coarse world.
Every time somebody rises in this world there are 100 people making an attempt to bring him down. They come out in packs with their piercing sharpened teeth looking for methods to destroy anything they can sink into... and frequently, they're pretty successful in doing it. It's terrible what happens to people nowadays 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 suspect 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 does not concern itself with the viewpoints of those sheep who've never tried and failed in the arena. That's the kind of hero we need. Not someone that was born great, but male or female who built themselves from the ashes in the depths and who will regularly take a stand for what they truly 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 obsessive about perfect figures - whether or not that be a body or a character. We idealize this concept of perfection and yet there actually is no such thing. What we actually need is someone that admits deep imperfection and celebrates it. And, despite that defect, tries to grow each day and bring light into the planet.
We truly require someone who will rise up above all the foolishness and take a stand for something larger than just money, sex, drugs, and so on. We need an ordinary man or woman - ready to be extraordinary in faith, love, and compassion.
