When Leonara was on her way, she saw Esther.
Esther was picking up dandelions, talking about birds and kittens to them.
Meanwhile, Leonara heard the train whistle. It’s rushing down on Esther.
But Esther couldn’t notice. Actually Leonara didn’t think anything. She just move her legs, toward Esther. She was trying to rescue her. And……..
Seems like I and Leonara have something in common.
Both of us are brave. Even if we scared, finally we overcome the fear.
Let me get this straight, I got same experience as Leonara’s
That was when I was 16 and lived in
But the cat didnt notice what would happen next.
So somehow I dashed to the cat without thinking.
But here is the difference between me and her.
She saved, but i didnt.
yeah, i'm not a hero who's comeing from fiction

I’d say that the heroism is in the attempt not in the result. By my definition, you were heroic even though the cat died. On the other hand, if you had been seriously injured but had saved the cat, would your parents have considered your act heroic or foolish? If I understand your response correctly, it seems that one character was trying to save another character’s life, a human life. You tried to save an animal’s life. Do these forms of life have the same value? Even if you believe that human and animal life have the same value. At what point does an act of heroism become an act of foolishness. A week ago the campaign manager for a woman running for the position of mayor of Bangkok drowned in one of the canals. None of the bystanders tried to save him. They said it was too dangerous. Were their actions cowardly or prudent?
From my view, heroism is the one who would sacrifice themselves to help the others even it's not successful. From your experience, I think you did a right way and even the cat died, you're still a hero.
However, sometimes you have to consider the situation whether you would help or not because sometimes, something dangerous might happen to you.
