People have many ways of describing their heroes. Every human is born different and everyone has a definite purpose in life. after coming across the quote, \u201cPeople make choices to be good or bad. Their race religion, nationality doesn\u2019t matter\u201d from the passage in Heroes who they are and what they do, I began contemplating on how true and relevant this quote is in today\u2019s fast paced world.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s ever changing world, people want to turn into heroes overnight. So who really are heroes ? What do they do ? To me, every spec in this fascinating world is a hero. A tiny ant is a hero as it lifts humungous pieces of sugar and works relentlessly its entire lifetime. A cleaner who cleans glass windows by hanging outside a skyscraper is a hero because he risks his life every single day which we would otherwise not do. There are many heroes around us. It is just up to us whether or not we choose to look at them.<\/p>\n

My hero is our spiritual master, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, or \u2018Swami\u2019, as we call him. The reason why I chose to write about Swami is that his work and contributions to people globally resonates with the teaching that Irena Sendler\u2019s father gave her. Swami\u2019s mission believes that access to high quality, free healthcare, education, and food is a fundamental right of every human being and to this end the Global Sathya Sai Organisation provides access to these facilities irrespective of race, religion, and nationality. He has followers globally and I find myself extremely inspired by him to give back to the society we live in. People may or may not recognise him but to me he is my superhero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
