You have a secret superpower:
the ability to appear and disappear at will. When and where will you use this
new superpower? Tell us a story.
Hmmmm….I’m not sure I would want this particular secret superpower
ability. Why? Well, because what immediately comes to mind
in terms of how to use it is this: I would want to be able to disappear (become
invisible) in situations where I believe someone has been lying to me or
exaggerating the story, and then appear right after this moment, so I could
expose the truth. The reason why I don’t
think I would want it is because in the end, I believe having this ability
would bring more pain and disillusionment than good. We are simply not meant to know some things,
and do we really want to take the mystery out of everything and everyone? Isn’t that part of life, getting to know
people, experiencing pain and joy with them, learning about cultivating relationships
and even how to let go when necessary?
Having a superpower is not always all it’s cracked up to be. As
Spiderman’s uncle would say, “With great power comes great
responsibility.” If I could find some
way to use this superpower to help others, then maybe I’d take it on, but that
would most likely mean giving up time with family and becoming close to others
because just like all the other “super heroes” we know and love, having a
superpower and using it to help save the world can also be very lonely.
