Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. Thatâs hard enough. Every dad casts a shadow, you know? And that shadow is youâre disappointed, youâre resentful, or you feel so supported and loved you donât understand why life is so hard anyway â or, you know, itâs so long and so dark that you can never step out of it, so you might as well not even try. Right? So. So hero to me is not applicable to the human experience. I think that we all do heroic things, but hero is not a noun, itâs a verb.
