The Need For a Hero. Part 1 of 2

Regards!

We all have and seek throughout our life a model or an answer to our concerns. And we simply imitate or look for a hero to follow his way of being by believing that it is right or wrong in our life.
As we grow, we visualize a certain number of personalities, characters, qualities, abilities in people, both in our real life or in fiction. Sometimes we use as models some of our parents, siblings or a family member, teacher or person that catches our attention because of his supposed success trajectory in his life and in several cases as it happened to me I have taken disappointments because the hero or the person you admire is also human and cheated and mocked in his past, as I was disappointed by a university professor who is currently a tremendous university professor and when you get the stories of that teacher then you get disappointed because you find out that great teacher also cheated on his exams when he studied.
The admiration falls and you are disappointed because you think it is a fraud. And if you do not have a well defined identity of your own, then you run to look for your next boss to admire and try to imitate his philosophy of life. Then as one grows from childhood to maturity because if you do not have your own identity then you seek to imitate an identity or simply complement yourself with the skills, abilities or characteristics of other identities.

We look for that character in the different categories offered by the media depending on the environment in which we operate such as: science fiction, musical artists, film artists, athletes, fictional characters, characters of comics, character of a video game , a right or left president, etc.
Depending on our personality we all have a hero we want to feel identified with and nowadays there is a great variety of characters that you can get on TV or internet and this hero does not necessarily have to be the traditional one that saves lives, it can be a comic hero in which you can identify funny people like Jim Carrey using their poses and creative faces. He can be a fighter imitating his keys and movements, he can be a dancer choreographer who likes to imitate the steps of Michel Jackson, he can also be an anti-hero like deadpool or a traditional hero like superman. Everything is depending on your personality with which, according to you, you believe that you will do well in life.

And you do not necessarily have to imitate that hero in all his characteristics. With imitating one of its characteristics because you would already be submerged or you would be doing that dedication to that character. For example: Eat fast as Goku Dragon Ball. I use it as a reference because I eat my food quickly and I remember that dragon ball character.

According to your personality. Who do you think your hero is to imitate? Or who are you imitating?
