To stand up for what one believes in - to save the world. These are the goals that we imagine the ideal hero striving for. This is what we see come up from our subconscious when the word "hero" is uttered...but perhaps, just perhaps, a hero is something more. Someone who would sacrifice all of herself for the good of others, for a just cause. Someone who isn't afraid to be right, even if it means being wrong to achieve their ends. Maybe then, this someone is a true hero. To me, this hero is Joan of Arc.
