THE TRUE HEROISM*

THE TRUE HEROISM

By Paulo Rebelo

Watching with some incredulity the world calling hero and “myth” any ordinary man with no humanitarian deeds at all, it is now with gladness and hope that I see been restablished the real meaning of HEROISM, unfortunatelly in the current and lethal viral pandemic.

Finally, I can imagine the redefining its futile concept of heroism in consequence of workers as doctors, nurses, physiotherapist, clinical lab technicians and others, truely true heroes, great men and woman who anonymous and silently fought and fight bravely and indistinctly for the health of unknown people, threatend and sacrificing their own lives, honoring one of the most beautiful of the professions that is to save saving lives no matter creed or ideology.

For this reason I have a dream that one day in every big city or small around the world that has been devastated by the novel coronavirus there will be a monumet to honor those true heroes that gave their heart to save the people of their country, moreover let the world never forget the pandemic and at last a place where families may gather to mourn and pray for their loved and deceased ones who didn’t have a decent funeral.
