In
my whole life my definition of superhero was restricted to a person who
can fly, fight for his protection and have some magical powers. When I
was a teenage my super definition was changed and I added soldiers in
that list till last year there was no further addition. I was pretty
much sure that my list of super heroes is complete and do not need any
amendment until I found ninety six (96) years old Dobri Dobrev.

You can find him in the cities of Sofia, Bulgaria with a begging bowl
in his hands, ragged clothes grown shave and wrinkled face. Yes heroes
can be like him. The real life real heroes.
Dobri Dobrev is a victim from the Second World War, which has left
serious impact on him and he has lost his 70% listening/hearing cells.
But even in this condition he walks 25 kilometers daily from his native
village to Sofia, Bulgaria to ask people fill his bowl with coins and
whatever they like to give in the name of God.
He receive 80 euro (hardly 100 dollars) on monthly basis in the name
of pension and that amount is more than enough for his personal
expenses. Then the question came in mind that what is the need of those
25 kilometers of walk for filling his bowl when his own 80 euros are
more than his needs.
Over the years he has collected 40000 euros and the most interesting
thing is he has never spent a single penny from that money. He saved it
as an act that will make his god happy. This old saint challenged the
people who make excuses when it comes for volunteering.
He has donated all his saving to the orphanages of his city, that are
serving the community but are unable to pay high bills. We think
several times before spending a single cent on someone else and he gave
his many years of hard work’s reward in a minute without keep any
portion for himself.
People like him are the real heroes, whose ultimate motive is to help
humanity in every possible way. People like Dobri Dobrev are hard to
find in this world of artificial and screen created superheroes, who
forgot about their self when there comes the time to prove human beings
with pure ‘’human hearts’’ still exit.
People gave Dobri Dobrev the title of Saint of Bailovo, Bailovo is
his birth place. People also call him Dyado Dobrev which means Grandpa
Dobrev. He is considered as symbol of selfless and true activist.

It is the time when we should start introducing our children and
teenagers with real life heroes, heroes that world needs the most in
current scenario. Heroes that knew that spending on others will bring
more contentment then spending on one’s own self. We should start
rewarding these types of people the biggest world awards other than the
people who creates weapon of mass destruction.
Well ? Even a beggar could help other people. So, What are we waiting for ? Don't just sit down and do nothing. Help other people around you. You can start from a small thing and be useful for others ! ;D
