Maybe I Can Save The World

If you are able to be given a chance for just one wish what would it be?

The answers to that question of course will depend on  the status of a person. If you will try to ask a homeless person with that question, I bet 99% that the answer would be to have a home or something like a lot of money to buy a house.

What do you think rich people would answer to that question, more money to come?

What about you? How about me? I’m not going to lie to you. Of course I would wish to have a lot of money but that money will be used to help the needy and for charity.

If a person has a lot of money, rich people precisely, what is it that they have?

Power. If you have a lot of money obviously you have power. You have the power to control subordinates using your money. But don’t get me wrong. You can use your money as power in a positive way.  Literally speaking for example, if you do not go out to purchase all the things you need and just do all the transactions online, you have the power over those things. You use your money for all of those things and make it easier for you.

Freedom. If you have the power you have the freedom. Why, because obviously you can do whatever you want or go wherever you go, you have enough money so you will not worry because you are free.

So if you have the power because of so much money, can you become a hero? Yes, of course. If you are going to use your money to provide for charitable institutes or just help those people who are less fortunate or even act like Bruce Wayne, you might be regarded as a hero or a savior.

Today, August 29th, we celebrate National Heroes Day in the Philippines. This is to commemorate Filipino heroes and anonymous heroes of the nation who fought and died for freedom. But National Heroes Day does not have a name, not even one, because there are unsung heroes who are brave enough to fight and keep fighting for the welfare of the nation.

Anyone can have power and become a hero. It doesn’t require a lot of money to have a power or even have a super power just like Peter Parker or Tony Stark. All we need is just a brave heart. We could be heroes in our own special way.
