My Hero

This song makes me think. I think everyone has a hero. Everyone has someone that they admired growing up. Somebody that they wanted to be, to emulate. As we grow up our heroes change, and we don't call them that anymore. Cause that's to kiddie like. We call them mentors, and we look at them with pride. Yeah it's true that in some ways they are different than a "hero". Because sometimes we have to deal with when they do something we don't respect. And our "heroes" as a a child didn't do that. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, and all of them never did something that we didn't respect. They always did what was just and legal. But real life heroes don't always do everything we respect. A-Rod cheats on his wife with strippers. Look at that wrestler than just killed his wife and kid, then himself. We have Presidents that cheat on their wives in the oval office on their lunch break. Donald Trump while I do respect all he's done, well I'm sure he's done somethings that are just over the law. On the other their probably are a lot of people out there that really respect him for that. Let's look at some of favorite entertainers. Arnold took steroids before his movie career, and then (groan) political career. Billy Joel runs trees over after drinking too much. I could continue for a few more pages but I'm sure you get my point.
