Men are potential heroes. We have been hearing for some time that any man is a potential rapist and it seems that the discourse has been catching on. It is a dirty lie that wants to turn us all into animals to house us in farms and mental slaughterhouses. The reality, fortunately, goes another way. Not much is said about this, but it is necessary to stop and reflect.
I understand there is a lot to talk about. The political distribution of blame, unfortunately, occupies everything in an unfair and stupid way, but it should not blind us so much that we do not see other real stories that have happened during the Valencia Dana tragedy. Among so much misery and so much pain, the best of human beings has also emerged.. Something that, by the way, almost no political representative has been able to value.

A lady met yesterday with the Civil Guard who saved her life. The law enforcement agent had no qualms about taking risks to save her. The woman remembered through tears what the man had told her while they were enduring the worst of the flood together: “If you leave with the water, I’ll leave too. Peaceful”. When the lady reminds him in front of the cameras, the Civil Guard remains firm because that is the idea: if you have to give your life, you give your life and that’s it.
A teacher saves four people by breaking a window. He does it coldly and with technique, something that surprises firefighters when they see it on video. While carrying out the rescue action, he tells those he wants to save: “Don’t worry, if you stay there, under the water, I’ll stay with you.” Manage to rescue them. Now they call him their guardian angel and he, overwhelmed and overwhelmed, knows what there is and knows that he would do it again.
Another simple and strong guy is, more or less, safe on the roof of a van when he notices that a girl has not been able to hold on to the tree in which she was sheltering and runs away with the flood. He plays it. He goes to look for her. He grabs her tightly and finds a new refuge with her. A few days later, they hug and she says he is “her hero.”. There are more examples and they all give you goosebumps. Words are unnecessary, but it is necessary to reflect. People are valuable and admirable. We are not beasts.
