#WritingWonders 22Aug- What makes your heroes feel weak?
I don't write "heroes"; I write about people trying to do what they think is the right thing, and sometimes the outcome of their actions is perceived as heroic by third parties.
Footnote: I don't believe in good and evil as real entities: it smacks of Christian dualist mysticism (and I'm absolutely not Christian in my world-view). Yes, there are things that from our perspective we experience as good or evil, and it's reasonable to treat them as such—but our perceptions of them are subjective and can often be open to reinterpretation.
@cstross I frequently see good and evil as the subjective assignments of how we feel about underlying selfishness viewed through the lens of societal norms. e.g. The more we put our own desires ahead of the needs of others tends to put us more on the culturally evil end of the scale.
It's fun to play with different (possibly fictional) cultural lenses to see what good and evil assignments we get.
