Heroism is not a manifestation of character in extreme situations, but the normal state of a person. Any other state is perceived as its threshold. Man strives to be a hero, and this is a natural striving.
But to become a hero, you need a coincidence of circumstances, often beyond the control of a person. In fact, you won't set fire to a house just to take a child out of the fire. And since fatal circumstances do not develop very often, pseudo-satisfaction is widely used to replace massive fires. Pseudo - because it does not benefit anyone, often even himself. Fashion and TV, religion and sports "diseases", wine, give a person the right to call himself a hero, without performing any feats.
The only kind of activity that allows you to truly unrestrictedly realize your abilities, moreover, the kind available to every normal person, wholly depending on him and not being "pseudo" at the same time, because it benefits all of humanity, is creative creativity. Therefore, there is no need to choose between creativity and other ideals. There is a choice between life and sleep. Or, if you like, between life and the game of life.
