More From Arthur Smith

It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.
Good Life Children Teaching
Today's children are living a childhood of firsts. they are the first daycare generation; the first truly multicultural generation; the first generation to grow up in the electronic bubble, the environment defined by computers and new forms of television; the first post-sexual revolution generation; the first generation for which nature is more abstraction than reality; the first generation to grow up in new kinds of dispersed, deconcentrated cities, not quite urban, rural, or suburban.
Change Children Growing Up
You know who it is? it's me in 10 years. so i turned 25. ten years later, that same person comes to me and says, 'so, are you a hero?' and i was like, 'not even close. no, no, no.' she said, 'why?' i said, 'because my hero's me at 35.' so you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away. i'm never gonna be my hero. i'm not gonna attain that. i know i'm not, and that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.
Hero Years Months
Heroes come in all sizes, and you don't have to be a giant hero. you can be a very small hero. it's just as important to understand that accepting self-responsibi lity for the things you do, having good manners, caring about other people-these are heroic acts. everybody has the choice of being a hero or not being a hero every day of their lives.
Hero Caring Self
A man can be a hero if he is a scientist, or a soldier, or a drug addict, or a disc jockey, or a crummy mediocre politician. a man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is "sensitive"; or because he is cruel. wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture - in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.

Walking the streets of tokyo with hawking in his wheelchair ... i felt as if i were taking a walk through galilee with jesus christ [as] crowds of japanese silently streamed after us, stretching out their hands to touch hawking's wheelchair. ... the crowds had streamed after einstein [on einstein's visit to japan in 1922] as they streamed after hawking seventy years later. ... they showed exquisite choice in their heroes. ... somehow they understood that einstein and hawking were not just great scientists, but great human beings.
