You either die and be a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

This is quoted from Two-Face of the Dark Knight movie.An interpretation of this quote is that you could stick to your morals,of what's right,to be loyal to a cause,even if it is of your detriment (die and be a hero).Should you contradict your values for your betterment,you may find yourself making the same decisions of the very people you yourself considered corrupt/evil(live long enough to see yourself become a villain.)

you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villian

It means that in life you are given choices and this defines who you will become morally. You choose who you are and if you choose to be bad than you are the villian but if you choose to be good then you are a hero. We are all faced with the choice of being good or bad but you only you can choose it.

A quote from the dark knight by harvey dent

Tejeda chose to be good for the first 25 years of his life but then he decided to rob and kill people. At his trial the judge asked Tejada how he could've changed so drastically and his lawyer replied by saying you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villian.

Hero

That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do

"Thank you for saving me by giving me the homework answers, you're a real hero"

Hero Syndrome

A hero syndrome is a syndrome that makes the person who has it act like a hero. They are desperately trying their best to help others, and when they fail they feel guilty and it can even lead to suicidal thoughts.

I shouldn’t vent to this person if there is no solution to my problem, they have Hero Syndrome.
