I'm sorry but that is an idiotic statement. A hero has to engage in some form of action to become a hero. Being to scared to run usually results in
some one becoming a corpse. Rarely does it result in heroism.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heroism is endurance for one moment more.
George F. Kennan
A hero holds on for one moment longer to do what has to be done while potentially sacrificing his life, liberty, comfort, or desires. A hero is not
the person cowering in fear of the challenge at hand.
