Identities

Why are people painted into the role of either the hero or the villain? What does it mean to be the villain? Is it putting others at risk? Stealing? The want to oppose the system? Being driven by greed and hate? And how is one a hero? Saving others? Doing good deeds? Being selfless? Bravery? How are these things supposed to classify a hero between a villain? A hero can look good from the outside but who knows what they are on the inside, behind closed doors. And what if the villain is forced to do the things they do? What if they have no other choice but to steal and oppose authority? In truth no one is truly the hero or the villain. All they are, are people trying their best.
