To Infinity – and beyond!

My favorite character in “Toy Story” is Buzz Lightyear. I love him because he is so full of himself, but his heart is in the right place. He is trying to save the world and believes it is his mission to do so, and he is blind to his own frailty, blind to his being just a tiny speck amongst millions. In reality he has no super powers. In reality, he has no link to Mission Control. In reality, there is no Mission Control, there is only him, Buzz, trying to do his best in the midst of chaos. And in the end, that is what matters. And he does, in fact, make a huge difference in the lives of his friends. He is a true hero, not because he has super powers, not because he will save the world, but because he does the most with what he has, and he cares deeply more about his friends than they at first realize.
