Hero: What's wrong with our thoughts?
"Heroes" (Lyrics: David Bowie. Music: David Bowie/Brian Eno)
I, I will be kingAnd you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cos we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and everOh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

For how long that the idea of waiting for "a hero" to save the day have become the final answer for any crisis in our way of thinking?
The idea of "the one" who showed up to save the day make us weak and, more or less at the end, hopeless. It doesn't make us any better but less self dependent, or even have less trust on our ability to deal with problem.
Just a thought came up after reading newspaper.
