Where is the hero worship for doctors, teachers, first responders, etc.?
The soldiers. The cops. The firemen. The teachers. The doctors. The dentists. The paramedics. The social workers. The religious leaders. Those with serious illnesses. Those with unorthodox lifestyles. Those who volunteer. Single parents. Married parents. Parents in general. Anyone who has ever had any adversity at all. I've heard all of them called heroes.
It's getting to be where you can't chuck a rock without hitting a hero, nowadays.
I remember when someone had to truly do something exceptionally extraordinary before people would apply that label to someone. People must be way more heroic this generation than preceding ones.
