Is it the rigid application of a certain set of ideals? Is it bravery in the heat of battle or the face of adversity? How do you understand heroism?

Someone who unnecessarily endures without direct personal gain, someone who bites the bullet to improve the lives of people who may not even realize it or give any gratitude.

Conversely, a hero is just an ideal, a symbol that encourages people to survive their own personal trials. A good example is the The Hero's Journey.
