Actually we don't have that much time to spend. In this busy generation, we rather concentrate on our own issues and live our lives to the fullest. But why do some people even bother to secure the interest of other individuals and listen to the needs of others? Some civic organizations concentrate more on the people they serve for and at times they forget about themselves. Take for example the activists that fight for peace. They raise the flag of Iraq and say stop the war even though they are unaffected.

In some countries, they burn military flags to show they're support for peace. At times we see different flags being burned but I, for one, have never seen a U.S. Navy Seals flag being burned to a crisp, maybe it's hard to find or maybe the seals might not be involved. These people, the ones who fight for peace, should they be considered as heroes of the modern world? I think not, these people at times use violence as a means of persuading other people or the government.

Maybe, we could consider those members of some civic organizations who focus on the welfare of others. Those people are the heroes of the modern world. They are the ones who care for the welfare of others, hearing they're pleas rather than forcing them to commit to matters that cause violence. If we only open our ears and listen well to the world, maybe, just maybe, we could be heroes for a day, heroes of the modern world.
