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.
