A Hero's Reality

Just watched Spiderman 1 recently. So interesting to have things like human evolution and a hero is being created out of an ordinary guy. This makes many of us thinks that it could happen to us too.

Many boys will be fantasizing about having that superb body structure to win every fight, and being a hero to everyone around. But little did we notice, the deep struggles of loneliness deep inside every hero.

In Spiderman 1, our hero fought with the green globin and killed him. Realizing after the fight, that this bad guy is his best friend's father. Shortly before the show ends, spiderman (Peter Parker) attended the funeral of the man whom he just killed. His best friend, Larry, swore to get revenge on spiderman who killed his father.

Spiderman did the right thing, everyone agrees. But who can he share with, about the feelings that he killed a man he once respected? He killed a man who is his best friend's father, how would it feel? Spiderman's best friend swore to get revenge on himself, how will it end up to be? In all this, Spiderman has got no one to share his struggles with. He take it all on himself.

A super hero will end up knowing the bad guy's family background, sympatize them and faces struggles to defeat them.

So before we all start to think about ourselves as a super hero next time, think about how much can we face emotional struggles. We might even find ourselves blessed to be an ordinary person and no need to care so much about bad guys. Haha!
