In a tragedy, heroes

The thing about human-caused tragedies is that in every tragedy there are heroes, the people who step forward and go beyond what is expected of them. They are like the leaven that reminds us that even when humans are at their worst, yet there are always at least a few humans who show us by their actions that you always have choices. All too often we declare that we cannot understand how such and such a person (or people) could commit such a horrific act. And, all too often we fail to look in wonder and awe at those in every tragedy who risk their lives to save others. Sometimes, when I look at those good people, I cannot understand how they had the strength to persevere in risking their lives to save others.

But, sometimes that is told to me in a way that almost seems to take away some of the due praise from those who risk their lives to save others. After all, in every tragedy there were those who did care for their lives and make the entirely legitimate choice to save themselves. Let me emphasize again that heroes are those who go beyond what is expected of them. There is nothing wrong in someone not choosing to be a hero, in someone choosing to do what is expected and to have due care for themselves.

We can only look at them and hope that if such a time of testing comes upon us that we would also be heroes. The story below is about two women who have just become heroes.

Please note that the nutritionist is only 19 years old. So young to be a hero.
