The world can be a very unforgiving, violent and unjust place. Nations are raging, political positions are always at odds. There are wars, refugees and criminals. We have personal trials ranging from unpleasantness to tragedy so extreme recovery seems impossible. Usually we can put the negatives behind us and move forward to the next thing. Sometimes though, we meet storms we cannot weather. These cataclysmic events don't just mold us; they break us and bring us to our knees and sometimes to our faces. They challenge our identities and sometimes forever alter the way we perceive ourselves, our lives, and our relationships. Going forward seems impossible when just standing up takes all the strength we have. Where is the real hero we've been waiting for? Does such an intervening hero really exist?
