Lauren Elizabeth. recognizing Zelenskyy as a hero is hardly trivializing the suffering of the Ukrainian people. It gives fight to their fight. And to all of us the BACKBONE to democracy. Zelenskyy has stood up for you and I in the world and by God that's worth celebrating.

Looking for perfection is a complete non-starter and a avenue into joylessness.

Heros are always flawed. In many ways that's what makes them heros. This little guy came from acting and his talents have made him perfect for the part.

If this this guy isn't a hero to be wildly celebrated, I don't know who the hell is.
