A Salute to Our Unsung Heroes

We all love superheroes. Chances are, all of us have at least one superhero that we love and idolize to be. It could be the Invincible Iron Man, the patriotic Captain America, the Mighty God of Thunder Thor, the Incredible Hulk, the Amazing Spider-Man, the Dark Knight Batman, the Uncanny X-Men, the big boy scout Superman, the scarlet speedster Flash, the list goes on and on.

Why we choose to idolize these heroes is subject to each individual fan. There are some of us avid comic fans who could connect with these superheroes, because at some point, we find a lot similarities between us and the superheroes we love. 

Take Spider-Man for example, a superhero who struggles with his daily lives, trying to juggle between his work, his love life, his studies, and his life as a superhero. 

How about the Hulk? A character, with a classic case of anger management issues.

We look at these superheroes though the pages of the serialized comic strips, or on the big screen. We get to see heroes having fantastic powers, who wear capes and costumes. We have songs written about them.

Well that's great...

However, they do not exist in real life. We do, however, have greater individuals, who would sacrifice their own safety and wellbeing, just to ensure that people like you and I, are able to live safely, healthily, and peacefully; and they don't wear capes, and they don't have superpowers.

The soldiers and policemen, who keeps us safe; the doctors and nurses, who would look in eyes of deadly pandemics, to save lives; the firemen; and the everyday good samaritan. Rarely do we have songs paying tribute to them, but it is thanks to their sacrifices, that we are able to live the peaceful life that we have now.

Salute, to all the unsung heroes...
