Let's say someone's feeling like crap, and they go into the world actively searching for a hero, someone to fix their problems, but find only someone with greater problems. Then they solve the greater problems of this person, and find themselves comforted by their ability to be a hero to someone else, so no longer need a hero of their own. In this ( Read more... )

I'd have to say the person whose problems you fixed is the real hero in the end. I mean the you in this scenario is apparently lost, and it took someone even more lost than him to help him realize he had enough strength inside him to fix their problem (which was stated as worse than the original person) so they must have enough mental stability ot fix their own shit. I guess sometimes you can be a hero by accepting the help of others, and admiting you need their help, while in turn you aid them in understanding that they're strong on their own. Being the catalyst of other's self discoveries is always a rewarding and heroic feeling.

Neither.
The person who was worse off than person #1 isn't a hero; because unless you can help yourself, you create problems for not only you, but other people as well, which is nearly the opposite of being a hero. The first person is a hero for helping the other person, but ultimately cannot be called a true hero because he couldn't help himself without the assistance of another person.
The first person showed his lack of heroic nature by going to search out someone else to fix his problems for him.

While both my have performed heroic actions, neither showed true heroism.

But that's just my opinion, so we know it can't be right. xD
