Dear Regina,

Your comments suggest something I was thinking of too:

The idea of hero, or heroic behavior, simply represents the 
personification of our highest ideals. Our very evolution is 
predicated upon the development of conscious ideals, and the 
subsequent realization of those ideals in our daily lives. It is 
important and very helpful, it seems to me, to create vehicles, such 
as your play as you describe it, to enhance and illuminate this 
process. A lot of problems result from a lack of consciousness. The 
more light we shine on the subject, the more shadows will be 
banished.
