…searching for a hero…

“One must think like a hero

to behave like a merely decent human being.”

May Sarton (1912-1995)

American poet

This pithy quote from May Sarton stopped me cold. It’s surprising, how strange and how true it is in our world today that acting like a decent human being could be, and in many ways is really heroic.

I read it again, and now I think that maybe she got it backwards.

It seems that it must be true that I have to think like a decent human being to behave like a hero.

Either way, it’s a good thought. I’m holding on to it.
