On a quiet flight, a young soldier sat beside a woman, haunted and silent after a military tragedy. A flight attendant called him a hero, but the woman angrily shouted that he was a traitor, blaming him for surviving when others didn’t.
The soldier said nothing, his eyes full of pain. The next day, the woman saw him on the news: he had risked his life to save twenty comrades from a fire. Shocked and ashamed, she realized her cruel words had been thrown at a true hero—proof that we often judge without knowing the full story.
