We all have the instinct of heroism within us.

The instinct of heroism is derived from our understanding of morals and vaules and our willingness to pursue and fight for them against all forms of opposition.

Right from our childhood, this instinct of heroism is formed based on our influences from movies, plays, comics or any other forms of fiction and there are real life events and the acts of heroism and the people we read and hear about. Also these may be real time in the present, or set back in the past.

Where do you derive this instinct of heroism from?

Is it from the concept of

1. A grand scale fictitious character you have been greatly followed, mythological, legendary, from the movies.... or one created in your mind.
2. A real life character past or present .
