Ribat believes that “The gods bestow different gifts on different people.” What gifts do you think Semiramis, Ninus and Onnes possess? What gifts do you think you have?
Semiramis possesses the gifts of persistence, resilience, boldness, and determination. Onnes possesses the gift of strength, and Ninus possesses the gift of compassion.
What @Patricia_Williams wrote is the same conclusion I came to. We all have positive attributes and attributes we struggle with, yet we all have equal worth. In this country, which is all I have experienced, we tend to elevate athletes, performers, and other celebrities to hero status. Yet, if looked at realistically they do little that improves people’s basic conditions. Doctors, nurses, multiple other types of healthcare providers, first responders, teachers, and others in service professions are the real heroes.
