Heroes

Only the fictional ones.

Because they can't disappoint you.

(Your reading of a character is yours)

Such as: Sonic The Hedgehog; and that's the only hero I need. More of a symbol than a hero, but: "Just get to that next stage no matter what it may be."

(I suppose other fictional characters have inspired me but none so much as the above and his friends no matter the adaptation of the character they're usually a symbol of the will to keep going and to help make the world a little bit better) (Sonic is an idea)

Real people have flaws and it's negative aura when you put them up on a pedestal for that.

For real.

I don't care if they're a celebrity or a historical figure that's a human being, their nose has boogers and their stomach digests food the same way as yours

I guess I do have a real hero, my childhood cat Junior, saved a neighborhood cat who was disowned by the neighbors whom lived above us, from starvation, by standing in our front door to block it, and then giving a signal to the starving cat to run inside and eat our food and run outside before we could react.

The other cat was still loyal to his former owners so he didn't want us to shut the door and trap him.

Junior was a pretty cool dude like that, the other cat eventually became my mom's cat Charles, but first we had to convince his former owner to tell him he was living with us from now on.

So Junior gets a pass because I raised him, though sometimes it felt more like he was raising me
