Are you a hero?

Are you a hero? What did you do that was heroic? It is an advanced thing. Think about it. Read about heroes, what they are, what they did. Be a hero within yourself, a hero in your family. Your wife will say, “You know, my husband, I just admire him.” Why do you admire him? “He is heroic.” That is what women like. Women do not like potato men, men who bring money and say, “Here, eat it, do it.” Still, the heart of woman is empty. Why? – Because she wants heroes. – Because every man is her child, and she wants her child to become the best. That is the instinct.

So be heroic. Of course, a man wants to see his wife not just sitting around but doing something great. We need heroic woman, heroic man, heroic children. I was in Argentina walking on the street. There were maybe three hundred girls playing rock and roll music in their ears. I said, “The destruction of this nation came.” Rock and roll, do you know what it does? It really loosens the screws of your mind and eventually kills it. How can we make these people understand? “It is fantastic.” Yes, but wait another five years and you will see what is happening. This is what we are talking about. Instead of being an artificial, mechanical somebody, can you, young girl, young man, think about a heroic life so that eventually when you are twenty-one, twenty-five, forty, fifty, seventy, eighty, they will say, “This woman is a masterpiece. She became something,” or she left us some fertilizer, like rotten potatoes, nothing else.
