8. What makes someone a hero?

What is a hero?






Brave, as one might say. Lionhearted, and a man of courage. Like General Antonio Luna, he is brave, lionhearted, and a man of courage. He fought the Americans in the time of need. August 13, 1898, the time when General Antonio Luna first to see in action in Intramuros. General Antonio Luna or addressed to as "The Fiery General" is the only General who is addressed to be the most aggressive general that the Philippines ever had. Imagine, if he is still alive right now, maybe the Philippines is in a safe condition.
To be honest, I salute him, not only because of his bravery and dedication to defend Philippines away from Americans but he is the most aggressive. He didn't back out, even in the time of his death, his last words are, "Cowards! Assasins!". Those last words are the most bravest last words I've read. These are the men of Aguinaldo that assasinated General Luna. Even Americans developed an admiration for him, General Frederick Funston, stated that Luna is "ablest and most aggressive leader of the Filipino Republic.
What makes a hero? Let's say that I'm a hero. What did I do? Let's say that I fed the poor. Does that make me a hero? No, I just fed the poor. Let's say that I gave money to little children. Does that make me a hero? No, I just gave money to needy children. Lastly, let's say that I brought a homeless person to a diner to feed him. Does that make me a hero? Still no, because you just gave them what they need. Did they thank you? Will they remember you? No. They may say "thank you po" but still that still doesnt make you a hero.

A hero in general is a person who has the initiative to give people help. What do I mean? Lets say you see a person who is in need, for example an homeless guy who really needs food. You gave him food, and he thanked you. and he says nice things and says "You are a blessing". A hero doesn't always comes with a mask and a costume. Being a hero comes from the heart.
