I have heard a story by a Buddhist monk, that in history of Buddhism there was one guy who actually is heard of having killed an emperor. The emperor was about to kill all the religious people in his kingdom and did on a great scale. The one guy was struggling deeply with himself in order to decide of making an end to the killings and therefore being reborn as something less or to stay passive. He decided for action and killed the emperor with an arrow shot from a mountain. The legend says that in this particular case the killer was reborn into a higher being because if he would have not sacrificed himself in doing evil millions would have died. So I know what you are meaning.

I just think that nowadays killings are difficult to be compared to this one and rarely stories are told where people came to an agreement without any killing whatsoever.

I am just kind of allergic to the heroic stories because we have so many of them. Do you get my point?

Is there ANY women/men talked about giving birth or taking care of a dying in the same heroic way?

This was the second movie type of you recommended to me.
