What is a society without a heroic dimension?

What is a society without a heroic dimension?

Summary

This quote implies that a society lacking a heroic dimension could be devoid of inspiration, courage, and models of virtue. A society without heroes may lack individuals who selflessly fight for justice, push boundaries, and uplift others. Heroes serve as beacons of hope, inspiration, and strength, reminding society of its potential and fostering a sense of unity and purpose. Without heroes, a society might experience a lack of role models to admire, emulate, and learn from, potentially leading to a decline in values, motivation, and collective progress.

The great God endows His children variously. To some he gives intellect -- and they move the earth. To some he allots heart -- and the beating pulse of humanity is theirs. But to some He gives only a soul, without intelligence -- and these, who never grow up, but remain always His children, are God's fools, kindly, elemental, simple, as if from His palette the Artist of all had taken one color instead of many.
