A Firefly's Monologue #19

"There are heroes who save lives of people they do not know. They just tell themselves they want to be heroes. They do not need gratitude or anything. They just want to be heroes.

"If you think about it, is it not selfish? Acting all heroic and brave when in fact they're just satisfying themselves. Can we still call them heroes if it's just that?"

"Whatever their intents maybe, if they do heroic acts, it's just proper to call them heroes."

"What about the misunderstood and the unrecognized?"

"Misunderstood and unrecognized?"

"The unsung heroes. The one complete ignored and forgotten. The ones hated by everyone. They are out of place and yet it's for something they believe in.

"They do not care whether they get unnoticed, whether the people hate them, whether they get hurt and receive no sympathy.

"Are they heroes?"

"They are heroes too."

"They are in love but are unrequited."

"If the people could only understand them. They would be recognized."

"Yet they remain heroes."
