So what's a hero?  According to the legacy media, a hero is just a member of a social, ethnic, or gender class -- no matter how personally virtuous or the very opposite that person may be.  Or "superheroes" who fill the media and aren't even real.  But for all of human history, heroes were the very opposite:  Real people like you and me who rose up to do what was right on a daily basis, who made moral choices and chose to be virtuous, even when it wasn't easy to do so in the place and time they found themselves.  Bravery and virtue in the face of external pressure was the hallmark of a hero.  On the Higher Reality Podcast, we tell the stories of Unsung Heroes, heroes who are genuinely heroic but also modest -- people who are brave and do what's right on a daily basis but whom you'll never hear about because they wont brag.  Pete the Sandwich Peddler is one such quiet hero, and his story amazes and inspires.  This is Part 1 of Pete's story.  Tune in next Friday on the Higher Reality Podcast for Part 2.  And please follow us on Spotify and Google Podcasts, and if you have stories of Unsung Heroes you'd like to share, please write David Page at david@thehigherreality.com.
