In reality Socrates. He saw a way to enrich peoples lives without enforceing his beliefs on them. As a result he was martyred. He had the choice to be bannished but he took the death penalty because he believed in what he was doing. Some on with that amount of conviction in his altruistic tendancies deserves my hero worship.
There are heaps of fictional characters who I worship as heros: Samwise Gamgee, Drizzt Do'urden, Wolverine, Rocky, etc. All these characters have something in common. They over come all obsticals with the strength of their heart. Heart conquers all. That inspires me to keep going when all the shit of the world is against me.
