Heroism

From Max Ehrmann’s Desiderata:

“Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.  Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.  But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.”

Indeed, life IS full of heroism.  It occurs to me that in many, perhaps most instances, the “heroism” is  being the best person one can be even when life hands out a bad situation.  That is, not letting the bad “blind you to whatever virtue there is.”
