The Boy Bothered by Fear and the Man Married to It
With a single stroke of a sword, a hero can stifle evil. With a tremendous thrust of courage, a hero can tame the tumultuous tendencies of humanity. Through literature and cinema, story to script, the hero is depicted as the pursuer of peace. The blame, the praise, the balance. The one to save the suffering many. Sera Sykora has no sword; he has no courage. Sera is consumed by fear; an impenetrable wall of darkness that cannot be broken. A boy who is bothered by it - a man who is married to it. How our perceptions change from childhood to adulthood is the difference in the life of Sera and in the lives of those he must save: Perception is the true evil.
To be a hero is to be blamed even if the praise is absent.
