I Feel Like Superman
Superman: [about Earth's people] Why am I so different from them?
Jor-El: Earth's sun is younger and brighter than Krypton's was. Your cells have drunk in its radiation, strengthening your muscles, your skin, your senses. Earth's gravity is weaker, yet its atmosphere is more nourishing. You've grown stronger here than I ever could have imagined. The only way to know how strong, is to keep testing your limits.
Keep testing my limits ? Emphasis on "Testing" or being tested at least, why are all these tests necessary ? I watch Man of Steel and Forest Gump a lot because both of them are so relatable. So gifted for the world but so distant from the world, if that even makes sense. It's not easy being so gifted, most people would want it but it comes with so much to give, so much of everything to give. Like Superman because you can hear everyone's cries, it's hard not to accept the responsibilty of being their hero.
Human beings are a extraordinary group of people; creators, dreamers, visionaries, designers, etc. With such capabilities you would think this world would be a better place but it's not. Every thing man has invented to this day has brought nothing but the destruction of the planet. It's hard to sit back and watch this modern day genocide that's happening right in front of my eyes.
What is amazing is that Superman still tries to fit in with all of this, gets a job and a girlfriend, no matter how gifted you are or how separated you feel from people, there's always that feeling to want to fit in. It's that battle all gifted people has going on; not easy.
Be Bless, Be Safe, One Love!
