superpowers...
If you were given the choice of superpowers, would you rather be invisible or would you rather be able to fly?
Invisibility or flight?
Now, don't overthink the question... like, don't ask me how fast you can fly or if your footsteps will make sounds if you're invisible...
When I first thought of this question, I thought, "It'd be cool as hell if I can be invisible."
Imagine how many people you could spy on and all the things you could do.
I could pull out chairs from underneath people just as they are about to sit down.
I could read people's diaries as they are writing in them.
I could pants people in the middle of the sidewalk and they'll be none the wiser.
All very cool things to do... yet, they are all very nasty things to do.
See, I, as well as all of you, probably have the gut reaction to choose invisibility...
However, I, as well as all of you, would use this superpower for bad instead of good.
Invisibility is so sneaky.
And, don't all of us want to be sneaky?
But, the more I thought of it, the more I wanted to fly.
For as long as I could remember, I've wanted to fly.
I have been able to force myself to dream about everything except going to candyland and flying.
I seriously hella wanted to fly (as well as eat a house made of gumdrops).
You never see any little kids saying they want to be invisible... they always, always, always want to fly.
Kids are nasty, but they aren't evil.
Invisbility is evil.
So, in the end, I decided to choose flight.
Even though my initial reaction was to be invisible, meaning, perhaps, that invisibilty is what I really want, I chose flight.
And, isn't that what separates the good from the evil?
Choice?
Everyone has the choice to do good or to do bad.
Everyone has an angel and a devil on their shoulders, but which one are you going to listen to?
Which one will you choose?
C'mon, didn't any of you watch 'Devil's Advocate' or 'Harry Potter'?
I'm not saying I'm a good person... no, no, no.
I'm saying that my superpower is the power of choice.
puhahahahahahaha... that was corny as hell.
Forgive me.
