Hekibel's secret public diary
I write words. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate the hero complex
I hate the hero complex. You know, the burning, idiotic desire to save everyone and dramatically sacrifice yourself for them.

What. The. Hell.

At the end of the day, after all the news stations calm down over your selfless, heroic sacrifice, YOU. ARE. STILL. DEAD!

To me, there's nothing remotely romantic about getting yourself killed for your loved ones. True, it's an amazing blessing to be loved so much that they are willing to risk life and limb to save you. But to me, it's just that. A gift, a blessing. Not some Hollywood-ized, dramatic monologue about how much they are giving up, blah blah blah. We know. If you love someone that much, they'll know it.

Also, regular people risk their lives for people they've never met. They're not idiots who run around screaming "I WILL RISK MY LIFE FOR YOU!!!!!" They just know that they can do something to save them, and they do it. They've got it in them. No hero complex, no drama, no soap operas. Just... them.
