A quotation from Philip K. Dick
The authentic human being is one of us who instinctively knows what he should not do and, in addition, will balk at doing it. He will refuse to do it, even if this brings down dread consequences to him and those whom he loves. This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people. They say “no” to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance. Their deeds may be small, and almost always unnoticed, unmarked by history. Their names are not remembered, nor did these authentic humans expect their names to be remembered. I see their authenticity in an odd way: not in their willingness to perform great heroic deeds, but in their quiet refusals to commit villainies. In essence, they cannot be compelled to be what they are not.
Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) American writer
Speech (1978) “How To Build A Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later”More about this quote: wist.info/dick-philip-k/39294/

It's a profound and humbling shift in perspective. You start parenthood thinking your job is to be their guide and protector, their "hero," but then you watch them. You see their resilience in the face of challenges, their unfiltered honesty, their boundless capacity for joy over the smallest things, and their innate kindness. Suddenly, you realize they are the ones teaching you, reminding you of what's truly important.
That realization is a quiet one. They look up to you, believing you have all the answers and all the strength. Yet, secretly, you are drawing inspiration from their courage to be unapologetically themselves and their ability to face each new day with fresh eyes. They become your moral compass and your motivation, the standard of goodness you strive to meet.
The artwork presents a silhouette of a kneeling adult holding hands with a child, who carries a glowing lantern, set against a backdrop of layered mountains and a winding river illuminated by a setting sun. Above, the text "THEY THINK YOU ARE THEIR HERO. YOU REALIZE... THEY ARE YOURS" is displayed, with "LEADING THE WAY TO WHAT TRULY MATTERS." at the bottom. A rustic wooden signpost stands to the left, enhancing the scene's depth.

Umberto Eco’s List of the 14 Common Features of Fascism
"Freedom and liberation are never-ending tasks.""There was only one Nazism,” he says, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features. “These features,” writes the novelist and semiotician, “cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”

A ‘thoroughly white’ novel of national mythmaking: Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang at 25
"Published at the dawn of the new millennium, True History of the Kelly Gang could be read as reinstating a victimised and innocent white settler subjectivity that was well past its use-by date. It is a thoroughly white story. The almost complete absence of Indigenous characters – except as feared, shadowy figures on the periphery – and the boldness with which Carey’s Kelly claims stolen land as his own through recourse to Irish history and myth obfuscates the fact that the country Carey claims for Kelly was already deeply storied."

Such do not know that like the seed is the fruit, and that, in the moral world, when good seed is planted, good fruit is inevitable, and does not depend on our watering and cultivating; that when you plant, or bury, a hero in his field, a crop of heroes is sure to spring up. This is a seed of such force and vitality, that it does not ask our leave to germinate.

Just watched a movie on Prime called The Last Full Measure, a story about a hero during the Vietnam War. Very moving. A true story. A full cast - Plummer, Hurt, Harris, Jackson, and more. Highly recommend, even if you hate Amazon & the Vietnam War as I do.

A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The epic poet did not judge his heroes by the result: Heroes won and lost battles in a manner that was totally independent of their own valor; their fate depended upon totally external forces, generally the explicit agency of the scheming gods (not devoid of nepotism(. Heroes are heroes because they are heroic in behavior, not because they won or loss.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
