Superheroes inspire some of us to be “heroes” in our
everyday lives. For others of us, simply surviving can be a heroic effort on a
daily basis. People who are depressed or otherwise suffer from debilitating
forms of mental illness “fight to survive” on a daily basis. People with
certain medical illnesses or conditions similarly “fight” heroically each day.
