Modern hero!

Talking about "Modern day survivors" I would like to mention David Meca who in spite of hasn’t taken part in reality shows, he seems to do that with his heroic deed.

As you surely know, two years ago, he decided to be the first man to cross swimming the Mediterranean Sea. He used his charm and energy to raise fame. The hazardous feat made him more popular. The more than thirty hours ordeal, soaked and suffering from exhaustion, ran into trouble with dangerous weather. I think, instead of achieving a glorious arrival, he faced a gruelling trial of survival.

I’d quite like to swim more than I do but I wouldn’t cross a Sea even if you paid me a lot of millions! I’d be scared of risky animals. Despite, David Meca’s heroic survival against the odds, people showed little interest, probably because they had other matters on their minds. I am sure, had he known in advance, he wouldn’t have done. So, in conclusion, it doesn’t worth it!

Nowadays, the hero’s concept has changed. I never believed I’d actually listen to names as Jonas’s Brother, Bekan or Barbie being heroes. Children have heroes like these characters that dull their minds, causing them overlook important details of life. I’d rather they knew Eleanor Roosevelt, or Teresa de Calcutta but they don’t. It’s time we think about it carefully!
