No, I guess I wouldn’t. Excellent point.

Is character not part of a lifestyle? Most of what you post is concerned with being the best person you can be, and character is a very important aspect of that and has been mentioned in passing a number of times already. It is there, just hanging around in the background of the subconscious. Everyone already ‘knows’ these things so it seems redundant to mention them, but they are still there and still important to emphasis. Would you consider someone a hero without these characteristics?

Yes, that is a good point Rua. Given the way this philosophy is developing, I think the overall blueprint of the Heroic Life needs to focus less on the specifics of what heroes are like, and more on the lifestyle inspired by the great heroes. So those elements may not get added in anytime soon. Thoughts?

One thing that I was expecting but didn’t find were the characteristics of a Hero. Like leadership, courage/bravery, and a maker of change for example.

I’m in Brighton at the moment, but spent twelve years in Fenton. So, Mid-Michigan, as they call it. Never been to Beaver Island but did a couple of trips up north with camp kids.

Oh, Michigan, I can see why you stayed! I have many fond memories of fumbling adventures and early attempts at leadership that took place in northern Michigan. Which side are you on? Have you ever been out to Beaver Island and thereabout?

I came to Michigan and here I still am. I came to spend three months at a summer camp and ended up staying there for twelve years. Camp is what made me stay – it is a world unto itself.
