Who do you consider to be a good hero?

It seems that Vis is essentially asking what exactly needs to be done for me to say that I've been treated well. In general, I tend to build good relationships with people who show respect from the very first conversation (and I also try to show respect to strangers by default). But I can't say that I consider everyone who treats me with respect to be "good," or that I only consider those who treat me with respect to be good. It's not always necessary to be decent, educated, and fair. We've already dealt with a "fair" person not so long ago, but were we all thrilled? It doesn't seem so. Excessively decent and "correct" people often annoy most people, even though they haven't actually done anything wrong... In general, it's quite difficult for me to formulate who I really consider to be a "good" person. If I try to formulate a general criterion, it's probably people who adhere to the principle of "live and let live." Although, in reality, it's not that simple...
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
