Real Hero

Almost everyone today feels his life to be a hard struggle for existence, confronting acute problems of poverty, insecurity, distress and rivalry, and it is almost impossible to keep himself free from its effects. The result is the constant unrest and disturbance of mind. We breathe in the same thing from the atmosphere and are consequently led away by circumstances and surroundings. Our individual mind has become the weather-cock, turning its face at every blast towards the direction in which the wind blows… The real hero in the struggle is one who braves them courageously and keeps himself free from their effect.
