It’s weird but I actually don’t consider people fulfilling normal everyday professions as heroes. It may be because I played heroes of might and magic 3 as a kid and my concept of ‘hero’ has connotations of someone being extraordinary.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, since those kids are apparently destined to be workers according to james, idolizing normal jobs is ummm ok. But it’s sort of like taking kids who specifically want to be extroardinary and telling them “no. u will be a brick in the wall.”
So haha BUT when a kid wants to be extraordinary and above the norm, the correct answer is to empower them upward to reach what heights they can; not pull them down.
I think it’s pretty common to view a doctor saving someones life as heroic or a fireman pulling someone from a fire as heroic. They are normal jobs I guess but often involve acts that people view as heroic. Seems like it conveys the message. Not sure about delivery dude.
More troublesome to me is that the artist completely ignored the latter part of the instructions that specifically mentioned ‘super’ heros
I’m unfamiliar with that delivery uniform, maybe it’s another country’s postal service, but the USPS has had a kind of “higher purpose” associated with it. E.g.
The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the
Nation together through the personal, educational, literary, and business correspondence of the
people. It shall provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render
postal services to all communities.
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of
their appointed rounds.
You can write whatever you want, but until my mail guy stops throwing packages in the mud at the base of my mailbox instead of leaving them on my doorstoop, I’m holding on the hero title.

When I think hero i think Guru Aurobindo, Feynman, Mai Bhago, StBridgid, Barry the Dog, neem karoli baba, ben franklin, selassie, carl sagan, etc etc etc.
