        In some there is only a thin line between heroism and the mere struggle to survive. Yet thin as it is, it is still there and they have the ability to cross over either side. We call them brave, some are even heroes.

       In even fewer you will find that that line is particularly blurred and there is no crossing to one side or another. There is no name for them. Yet it is in that breed of person that you will find the fiercest sense of protectiveness. It is in that kind of person where you find the undeniable proof that man can be better that what we as the majority have proven ourselves to be.
