We all have the concept in our hearts; few follow their hearts as they should though...
Bushid ( ? ) , literally "military scholar road", is a Japanese word for the way of the samurai life, loosely analogous to the concept of chivalry .
Bushido, a modern term rather than a historical one, originates from the samurai moral values, most commonly stressing some combination of frugality , loyalty , martial arts mastery, and honor unto death . Born from Neo- Confucianism during times of peace in Tokugawa Japan and following Confucian texts, Bushido was also influenced by Shinto and Zen Buddhism , allowing the violent existence of the samurai to be tempered by wisdom and serenity. Bushid developed between the 16th and 20th centuries, debated by pundits who believed they were building on a legacy dating from the 10th century, although some scholars have noted "the term bushid itself is rarely attested in premodern literature."

Nobody enjoys adversity, it does howevergive rise to an opportunity for humanity to rise above the noise of hatred and selfishness.
And tragically, while we are capable of such altruism, we must live with the other side of the coin.
"No concept exists without its opposite" which is perhaps why such heroics stand out!
