Anti-hero

This sentimental friend of mine agrees to most if not all of  THIS -> “The hero is today running up against a hard world that is in no way responsive to the spiritual need.” Modern society has become a “stagnation of inauthentic lives and living . . . that evokes nothing of our spiritual life, our potentialities, or even our physical courage.” He strongly believes that its the spiritual life that makes life count (or something like that, anyway he is anti- non-sentimentalists). Enough of him showing up in my blog (I SAID ENOUGH!) It is true that such comfortable lives we have created stripped our keen spiritual senses away. We no longer feel challenged toward difficulties, we avoid them. We no longer live harmonious with the nature because we think its barbaric. Simply, the introduction of technology into our lives make us numb. This is not an age for heroes. We just don't appreciate them for what they do. Our society has changed from a romantic sentimental crowd into cynical hard-nosed population. Spider man is one of the best examples to demonstrate this. People who are gifted, doing stuff out of their own free will, is seen as mandatory duty by the public, even decide to criticize those heroic acts. People blame Spiderman for not arriving on time, not saving others successfully, not doing what they think he should have done. People no longer appreciate the existence of heroes. They demand them, condemn them and seen them as their job. Those would have been heroes in another era lives simple and plain just like others in this apathetic community.
