Answer 1

Ans.

"Veneration Without Understanding" " The true hero is one with the masses, he does not exist above them."Veneration Without Understanding Anyone could be a hero in his own little ways.

Without Understanding is an article written by Renato Constantino who expresses and states what a real hero possess. It is not Dr. Jose Rizal who is the leader of our revolution but Bonifacio who thought of starting the KKK to fight for the real freedom. In no uncertain terms he placed himself against Bonifacio and those Filipinos who were fighting for the country’s liberty. The Philippine Revolution has always been overshadowed by the omnipresent figure and the towering reputation of Rizal.Because Rizal took no part in that Revolution and in fact repudiated it, the general regard for our Revolution is not as high as it otherwise would be. On the other hand, because we refuse to analyze the significance of his repudiation, our understanding of Rizal and of his role in our national development remains superficial. This is a disservice to the event, to the man, and to us. Rizal never advocated independence, nor did he advocate armed resistance to the government. He urged reform from within by publicity, by public education, and appeal to the public conscience.He never thought of the consequence but instead, he continued to fight because he trusts himself that he could make a change out of his intelligence. What Rizal’s main purpose is for liberty, without abuses, the country was a peaceful country and all are working for the purpose of country’s progress and not the independence which means to stand as one country. This article portrays that we must know the strengths and weaknesses of our national hero. We must not stick to what was their declared name.

We can all be heroes in our own special ways ,it may be small or big, true greatness is something to be celebrate and appreciate.
