Heros can save others never themselves
People sometimes give up everything for someone else because they feel that it's not useful to them and they give up because it's easier than trying to convince themselves they are important
From my experience, the idea that heroes can save others but rarely themselves is deeply tied to our inner psychological battles. When someone tries to help another at great personal risk, like the story of the girl who tried to save a boy from jumping and both ultimately fell, it reveals a powerful but painful truth. Often, the hero's own needs and struggles are overshadowed by the urgent desire to protect or save others. This phenomenon isn’t just about physical acts of saving but also about emotional and mental support. Many people who dedicate their lives to helping others—whether as caregivers, friends, or in professional roles—often neglect their own well-being. They sometimes feel their own problems are less important or that admitting to personal struggles shows weakness, making them less likely to seek help. I’ve seen friends and family members put themselves last in their relationships or careers because they wanted to be the 'hero' for others. It’s important to recognize that true heroism includes self-care and awareness. The question ‘Who should fall—the saved or the hero?’ is not just about sacrifice but also about balance. If the hero falls and cannot recover, their ability to help diminishes. Ultimately, valuing yourself is not selfish; it’s essential to sustain the courage to help others long term. Understanding that self-worth is crucial can help prevent the tragic outcomes of falling while trying to save. Whether it’s in everyday life or extraordinary circumstances, heroes must remember that saving themselves is just as important as saving others.
