Hero

 A hero is chosen and accepts the harrowing and mysterious quest. They take the journey, even at the peril of their lives. They return to society transformed and enlightened with the task of enlightening others, a gift they freely give.

These days, media popularity is enough to make cheap heroes of entertainers and athletes while real heroes are lost to us. The real hero should inspire action, not envy and adoration.
The real heroes are not in comic books, but in the military, refugee camps, among the homeless, crusading against injustice and against climate destruction.
Fake heroes abound in the media. The real ones go about the business of making the world a better place.
