What makes someone a hero? What makes someone a villain?

Sep 10, 2007 02:38

How they see things. How they act. How they handle things, how they handle themselves, how one manages to save the day while the other tries to send it straight to Hell.

Should I keep going?

Fine. Selfishness versus selflessness comes to mind. The willingness to put others above ourselves, or putting them down in order to reach a goal. There are just a lot of things that can be listed.

I know what makes someone a villain. I was among them long enough to know, I think and lately I've been feeling like one, sort of. Jack, for example, used to be the asshole who would put himself before everyone else. He would cheat, manipulate, kill, use and just about anything he could do to get exactly what he wanted. That makes someone a villain.

A hero would be the opposite, I guess. Other than that, I honestly have no idea what makes someone a hero. That seems to be more complicated than being a villain.

Heh, but honestly, I don't feel like I should be the person that should even start discussing that sort of thing. Trust me.
