One of the reasons why people have unrealistic expectations of their own power and abilities is because they have been programmed by (((them))) the owners of Hollywood, to think that way. The reason for the programming is so that ordinary people will do stupid things that get them killed if they ever try to be a hero or a soldier. Real heroes and real soldiers are more careful and measured in their actions. Real herose spend a lot of time hiding and whispering. Real heroes work in a team and never step out and expose themselves when doing so would also expose other members of the team. Real heroes bide their time.
Do not let your Hollywood programming control your actions.
