Hail to Our Everyday Local Heroes  

Tom Purcell on

There are lots of reasons to be cynical these days. The charlatans and politicians who have exploited COVID to inflame our fears and further their ambitions is one of the biggest.

But there are many more reasons to be hopeful.

Our world is overflowing with ordinary people who quietly infuse our lives with goodness, beauty and compassion every day.

They are our true heroes. We just need to get better at acknowledging them.

Better yet, if we’re not already doing so, we should work at becoming everyday heroes ourselves.
