Your sacrifice is what makes you a hero.
It doesn't matter whether you saved the world or your countrymen, it doesn't matter whether you saved only one soul or you saved your own soul. You could be a hero to all and you could be a hero to one. You could be a hero to someone and you could be a hero to your own self.
It doesn't matter... Because being a hero only makes sense when there is love and sacrifice.
And it doesn't matter whether its love for your country or to your god. It doesn't matter whether its love for someone or to your own self. Its just love per'se.
Because in the midst of war... Love is the root of every battle.
So this day, as we celebrate the day of our national hero, I would like to extend the essence of being a hero to everyone... Because a father is a hero to his son, a mother is a hero to her children, a friend is a hero to another friend, a wife is a hero to her husband, a husband is a hero to his wife, a survivor is a hero to his own self.
We are heroes of our own right.
Because everyday there is a silent war going on in an invisible battlefield of our day to day lives.
As we fight to live for one more day.
We are heroes in our own battlefields.
To die is heroic.
But to live is heroism everyday.
