"A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep." Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
Our world is quiet brutal and destructive at times. Yes, there are times when it is soft and gentle but we can't deny what has happened throughout the course of our history.
But it isn't our world that is as vicious as the people who walk upon it. Every single time someone tries to rise there are thousands working against them to see that they fall. These individuals come out in hoards with the intent to sink their teeth into "the lights" back and tear him or her to shreds.
Our society is built upon the spreading of gossip and the tearing apart of hearts. There is a massive audience of people who are looking to watch others fail instead of succeed. Further, there's a large group of people who will go out of their way to specifically try to bring people down who are rising to the top. They are the wolves and they love to come out and hunt.
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.
Why?
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.
It's time there are people who take a stand for something greater than themselves.
It's the time of the lion. It's time for the extraordinary.
We need a new breed of everyday hero.
