Everyone remembers Lermontov's novel “The Hero of Our Time”. Lermontov said that "Pechorin is the name of the work," whatever that may be. It is not a secret for anyone that Pechorin is far from ideal, he is worse than an ordinary egoist, because he is aware of this, but cannot do anything. Whatever he does, what nationality he is, is simply not important. We are all heroes, if you look at the situation from the point of view of Lermontov.
Deeds, even the most insignificant positive act in the eyes of people makes you a hero. And you don’t need to save the world, kill monsters ... you have to be tolerant of others, always come to the rescue, don’t wish people evil ... If this is done, then you are a HERO.
And if you love those who love you, what thanks for that? for sinners also love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what gratitude are you for? for even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from which you hope to get back, what thanks do you have for that? for even sinners lend to sinners to get back as much. But you love your enemies, and do good and lend, not expecting anything; and there will be a great reward to you, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is gracious to both the ungrateful and the evil. So be merciful, as your Father is merciful.
