Good sub idea!
Yeah, I thought of it this morning when I posted the story that put herself between a car bent on running her kids over and pushing them out of the way. She wasn't a great person anyone would want to emulate, married to a black guy, six kids and pregnant with another, basically a welfare queen. But she did something good once in her life. So I thought ... ya know, we really don't have a place for all this kind of thing.
You know, the guy who puts his own life on the line to give someone he doen't even know a chance to live ... that kinda thing.
Yeah I've often thought western society doesn't give the real heroes the credit they deserve. Retail workers that deal with shitty customers, garbage men, sewer cleaners the people that make all the shit we take for granted work, those people in my view are heroes. Then there are the people like you pointed out that give their own life because it's the right thing to do. So many people that do not get the credit they deserve. We worship billionaires and celebrities who often times have the easiest lives of anyone, while the guy that makes sure we have running water gets looked down on. Its pretty upside down if you ask me.
You nailed that!
