Who is your hero?

Posted by Dinah on February 27, 2010, at 12:21:22

While I was reading the article floatingbridge linked, I was thinking about my heroes.
At least two of my top three seemed to have issues with depression, and I think those issues were related to the very things I find admirable about them. Abraham Lincoln and Moses are two of my three favorite heroes. I also find Winston Churchill fascinating, and he definitely had issues with depression.
The third, William Marshal, does not appear to have had any melancholic tendencies. :) I'm not sure why he appeals to me as much as he does.
Self doubt is a wonderful quality in a hero, to my mind.
