I've been thinking about that. In reality and fiction we all look for heroes. The dragonslayer, the protecter and the rescuer. I have my own theroies. Maybe we look for heroes because they have within them the things we wish we had and none of the things that that we are ashamed of in ourselves.
We watch action movies because the characters dare to do what we wish we could but will never do. We play certain games so we can get a step closer to being the hero we dream of being.
We dream of being the badass so we can never let someone decide our fate. We dream of being the dragonslayer because there are problems and troubles in our lives we wish we can destroy. We dream of being the protector because there is someone in our lives that are very important to us but we have failed to protect. We dream of being the rescuer because there is someone you love in a terrible situation that you cannot save them from.
Instead of looking for heroes, maybe we should become ones ourselves. You don't need a S on your chest to be a protector, you don't need a mighty blade to slay a dragon. You don't need weapons to be a badass and you don't need anything special to be a rescuer.
You just need the fire in your heart, your will to never give up and love for all people to be a hero.
