Hero
People on earth live differently within variety of religions, cultures, races, nationalities, and so on. I believe these differences are the cause of contradiction which leads to war. People fight for power for their companion’s benefit, regardless small or big group, as referring to historical notes for example the first world war, the second world war, race massacre in Germany, Uganda, Kmer, Nan King, as well as unrest situation and current dispute which unlikely to end.
We once believe that globalization would confine the globe smaller and also would dissolve extreme differences and merge harmoniously. Believe in the new world, searching for peace might have been easier but relatively it is not in reality.
Is the difference the real cause?
Though the outcome of the differences and contradictory appear obviously, I find out another aspect. It reveals an increasing of contrast cause by the above mentioned differences; religions, cultures, races, nationalities, and so on. This difference has become tools by certain group like the countries with great power. They make use of the difference and contradictory for example in war weapon business. Also they aim to conquer natural resources like petroleum. Ordinary people become chessman in chess game of the more powerful people.
Hero being
In the historical document, from the ancient time to present day, there is the evidence of hero being. Human imagine and create heroes in form of deva sculpture, goddess, knights, drawing, movies, cartoons and games and so on. Heroes exist when men feel weak and would like someone to protect them from dangers. In the reality we found heroes actually are on earth. They are not a wizard or any wonder superhuman. But heroes are ordinary people who play an important role in the change of society in the world. He or she could be revolutionists, local leaders, philosophers, scientists, politicians, prime ministers, teachers, beggars, housewives, fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters or even small kids. At the same time we are considering who is a hero; others would consider us their hero. We are looking for heroes when we face troubles. Nevertheless we also check the role of heroes.
Heroes
I create a hero. I make it alive by referring to scientific reason mix with the mysterious believe in the traditional Thai supernatural about deva, alien and memory during my childhood.
