Heroes, Villains and everything in between

When you hear the word Hero what comes to mind? Superman? Spiderman 😁😁
You would most likely think of any brave character with a sword and/or magical powers who does extraordinary things.
A villain on the flipside would be construed to be a character archetype of evil (like the awful Joker).
.
However, we all have a hero and villain in us, no one is all light or darkness, it is left to you to decide which one you choose to embrace.
.

As the rate of moral decadence increases, it makes it difficult for one to embrace heroism, This is so true and even more difficult as life's cruelty tries to mold us into villains.
It is however essential to note that a hero need not be an extraordinary persona as earlier stated.

A true hero is one who makes a conscious effort not to give the world a taste of its own bitter medicine despite any inconveniences
.
.
If we want to be true heroes, our greatest weapons against villainy should be patience and self control.
It takes a true hero to spread happiness and positivity. And happiness is just like a perfume, you have to wear it first before it spreads to others.
So fill yourself with positivity, be happy and be sure to infect others with it. Be a true hero!

I would like to know your thoughts on this. What other 'weapons' are essential in becoming a true hero amidst villainy?
