Dreaming of a Hero

Maybe it’s because I have romanticized a character so captured in Atticus Finch. Maybe because I see a lot of injustice seething in every corner I pass through. Maybe because I experienced so much pain and suffering in my life first-hand and that I very well know where the destitute, the impoverished, the abused, the ordinary people seeking justice are coming from.

I will embark on a journey less traveled. I am settled with myself that I have come this far for a reason. I saw the meaning in my life right on this very day when I handed a pleading to an OFW who was very distraught about what the future will bring. I don’t want the riches of this world. I want to help people.

There was extreme happiness in me. I see a hero in the eyes of the people I meet. From this day on, I will start to dream again from the rubbles and with the end of rebuilding what’s destroyed.

I will be dreaming of a hero in every battle for justice. For them I will live. For them I will dream.

    What a beautiful soul you have, Dex. I'm so happy that your heart is leading you to dream rather than disillusionment. The world needs many more young lawyers...and many more young doctors...who feel as you do. But one is better than none.

    Thank you, mom. I had this realization that I must start dreaming for others because I had already my fair share in this life. :)
