A wise man described them this way:
==
"Such people are of a special kind; they are the soldiers that every army of light wants to have in its ranks.
They are the parents that every child wants to have and the children that every parent dreams of having.
They are beings above the average of their societies, they are the essence of the people who have built all cultures and conquered
horizons.
They are there, next to you, they look normal, but they are superheroes.
They did what others could not, they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination and social
exclusion.
They lost their jobs, let their careers sink, had no more money ... but they didn’t
care.
They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciation, betrayal and humiliation ... but they kept
going.
They passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines, Commandos, Green Berets, astronauts
and geniuses could not withstand.
They are made of the stuff of the greatest who ever lived, those heroes born
among ordinary men who glow in the dark.”

Can you identify them?
A few years ago, during the global panic, they really stood out.
In the
Bible, another group of people also stuck out.
Hebrews 11:32-38
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the
prophets:
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of
lions,
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in
fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were
tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
And others had trial of cruel
mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were
tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
