[ExI] Heroism without self-sacrifice

[citta437 at aol.com]

"For there is suffering, but none who suffers; Doing exists although 
there is no doer.
Extinction is but no extinguished person; Although there is a path, 
there is no goer.
— Visuddhimagga

Conventional thought/belief of a hero is one who sacrificed his life 
for the good of others. Sacrifice/suffering evidently exists but 
Visuddhimagga {a Buddhist philosopher?} stated there is none who 
suffers or no one dies/no life lost in the context of being a hero.

Words like hero and suffering are thoughts, inter-subjective processes 
of cause and effect/interacting energies. We continually change as 
cells die and replace in the organ system of the body.
