\"Most men live lives of quiet desperation
and go to the grave with the song still in them.\"
-Henry David Thoreau
This quote from Henry David Thoreau is quite thought provoking. It reminded me of „Dead Poets Society“ and its call to living deliberately, sucking the marrow out of life, and about death in the light of not having lived fully. Life means philosophy! „To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust.„ This is Thoreau`s heroic call to the hero in each one of us. „In many myths and folk tales, a hero is a man or woman, traditionally the protagonist of a story, legend or saga, who commonly possesses abilities or character far greater than that of a typical person, which enable him or her to perform some truly extraordinary, beneficial deed (a \"heroic deed\") for which he or she is famous“ (Wikepedia). As Thoreau did, all heroes help to open up people's sense of what was possible for each other human being. Our world needs heroes (Jedi) because these can help to show viewers what is possible. People look to heroes (Jedi) because of the ideals they live out. They are symbols for all the qualities others would like to possess and all the ambitions they would like to satisfy.
