Could a countryman make a heroic deed?

823 T648c c.1

Most people tend to think that only heroes or important people could make fantastic acts for humanity. Nevertheless, I do not consider that because there are common people who always have been making good things. What’s more, they are not famous such as the main character of my book who called Egidio.

Egidio is just a common farmer; however, they could fight with dragons and giants. For example, he saved the village from a big giant that destroyed all the places as far as possible. Although people believed that the knights were the only ones able to kill a dragon, people realized that they are not enough for fulfilling this mission. As a consequence, they talked with Egidio for killing a dragon that was eating all the human beings.

Some people who are known for their goods act turns in famous heroes. When they lost the privacy of their deeds, everybody knows about it and used them like servants of the society. Then, people become dependents of these heroes. For instance, people from Ham village wanted to be rich saying to Egidio that he had not kill the dragon because it can gave them money if he let it rest in peace. On the other hands, there are anonymous people who do not receive this recognition they deserved. Firefighters, in particular, do not receive anything from the community. Because they do not turn in famous like some common people, for the reason that they just doing their work.

To conclude, I have to say that a real hero is the person who is altruistic. People who make things for turning in famous or because they like feeling admired, they just think about themselves. You should help others because they need it, this is the only reasonable and moral reason.
