A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
We are living in a pretty vicious world.
Each time somebody rises in this world there are 100 wolves making an attempt to bring him down. They come out in packs with their piercing sharpened teeth looking for techniques to destroy anything they can sink into... and regularly, they really are pretty successful in doing it. It's terrible 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 assume this is the way that it's usually 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 truly 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 chasm and who will regularly take a stand for what they have a belief in and what they really adore in this life.
Wouldn't that give the people something to root for? I believe 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 actually need is someone who really admits deep imperfection and celebrates it. And, in spite of that deep sense of being flawed, tries to grow each day and bring light into the globe.
We really need somebody who will rise confidently above all the rubbish and take a stand for something bigger than merely wealth, sex, drugs, and so on. We need an ordinary man or woman - ready to be extraordinary in faith, love, and compassion.
