I believe so, yes. In some cases, a hero is the person who is willing to stand up when others are unwilling or unable.

I believe that true heroes are, at their hearts, very simple.

But I also believe that true heroes are very hard to find. I have only ever met one such man in my life.

Croix was kind. Loyal to his ideals and, more importantly, to the people he served as a knight. He did not allow politics to stop him from doing what he felt was right.

He was also an excellent listener.

[Cloche has to fight the urge to correct Link's grammar... but, from the way he writes, he seems very young. ... she'll just leave it be.]

Politics are, in essence, the actions, beliefs, and practices of governmental officials. They are often very complicated.

It may be complicated, but government is an important aspect of civilization! If there were no government in Hinoto-Ri, none of the Guests would have a place to live.

That may work for small settlements, but for countries and cities it just wouldn't work.
