"A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep." Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
We live in a pretty cruel world at times. While it does have its nurturing moments, we can't deny that things can be pretty rough around the edges.
But it isn't the world that challenges us as much as the people who are walking upon it. It seems that every time someone tries to spread a positive message, bring light out in others, or bring positivity into the world there are thousands of people who try to tear them down.
Unfortunately, our society is built upon trying to tear us apart from one another instead of bringing us together. We live in a day and age full of people who are able to hide behind their computer screens and comment on whatever they want without the consequences of saying it personally to ones face. The wolves run rampant in our world without much of an opposing force to quiet them down.
It's time for a new type of hero.
We are in need of a lion who can fight back based on principle and courage. We need a lion who has stepped into the arena time and time again and knows the great defeats and victories of life. We are in need of the person who is willing to step up for the greatness of others and who knows how to build themselves from the ashes of darkness.
When the lions rise from the darkness, we will have a great light in this world.
But why is this important?
Because we need to regain our belief as a race. Every time someone has risen there has been an overwhelming force to try to get them to fall and they usually do. We need people to rise to great heights and stay there. We need role models. We need heroes. We need something to believe in so we can in turn believe in ourselves.
What we truly need is someone who is willing to admit defeat and openly accepts the fact that it is part of the process. And, despite falling, they bring themselves back time and time again to their purpose of bettering the world and the people in it.
We are in need of someone who is willing to stand for more than just money, sex, drugs, and everything that is so cliche that has come before him or her.
It's the time of the lion. It's time for the extraordinary.
We need a new breed of everyday hero.
