What is a deaf hero?

You know, people visit their favorite forum for a reason. Some visit ASLrocks while others visit DVTV. But to call a person a "hero" for being on a forum is, well, very tacky if not totally inappropriate. Especially if a person is known to have done slanderous and injurious gossipings, or just being crude and nasty.

There are several things or reasons why people go on to these video forums. Number one reason is probably for the mindless gossiping, libeling, defaming and complaining hoping that somebody will notice the flailing arms. You know, just trashy stuff hoping to get noticed. Number two is to learn new things from people who have the knowledge. Something that's purely informative and helpful. Number three is the more educational on the social level on what's going on out there in the world of who's who. Number four is for the simple entertainment value that probably comes with a message. That's pretty much the gist of it, I think. There could be a few more.

But don't call a person a "hero" just because of the number of hits a person was able to help generate. Saying that is an act of pure selfishness. I have my own definition of what a hero is like and it has to do with selflessness, caring, sacrificial and enduring. Base it on the content of person's character, not about  the ability to have a potty mouth. Not about gossiping. Not about smearing and libeling. Not about defamation and other petty actions. Those things do not make a person a "hero." What those thing produce altogether is a monster. Something that people should already have learned to avoid but can't avoid like some trashy tabloid sitting in a magazine rack at a grocery store waiting for somebody to pick it up and buy it.

To be a "hero" has a much more deeper revelation that is to be appreciated and wondered. I'm not a "hero." Neither is Barry of The Holism. Or anybody else who run their blogs and vlogs out there. We are simply people who have various passions for life. If people come and read your blogs or watch your vlogs then they have a reason for coming. So, please, save the "hero" label for somebody who really deserves it.
