TM: What does 'comfort' mean to you?

[iolaus]

I'll tell you what comfort is, and not just to me, either. Look over there. See him? Yeah, him. The big guy over by the well, surrounded by all those villagers. Now take a good look at their faces. They look pretty happy, don't they? Not to mention relieved. You would be too if someone saved your village from a three-headed monster with six inch fangs and a sweet tooth for human flesh. I've seen that look of relief a thousand times in people all over Greece. It comes from knowing that, no matter how terrible the situation, there's always hope -- because there's Hercules. He's not the kind of hero who fights for money or glory. Herc fights straight from the heart to defend the helpless and downtrodden. He's strength and courage against impossible odds. Wherever there's danger or injustice, that's where you'll find him, right in the thick of things. That's what comfort is. It's knowing that we live in a world with Hercules.

It agree with you here, Iolaus. I do not want to think, that would be, if I have not met him then. He has rare gift to change people.

He does, doesn't he? We're two pretty good examples of how Herc can change people for the better, aren't we?

Yes, I continue to be surprised, how he is able to force people to believe in an opportunity to change, in fact without this belief hardly it is possible to do something. I would like to hope, that I possess even a part of this gift, but I have no such patience.
