[You die being a hero and you start to resent seeing it in others. That's all there is to it.]

I do. Being called a 'Hero' puts expectations on you.

Expectations to throw your life away protecting people you don't know, or people who might not give a damn about who you are or what kind of life you lived.

All they want is to someone to save them when they're in deep and can't get themselves out. [But pathetic would be a good word to call them, he thinks.]
