What Superpower Do You Want?
Have you ever thought about which superpower you would want? There are a few that come with pros and cons, so you have to evaluate them before you choose. Here are a few examples.
The ability to fly. Most children would love to be able to fly. I remember jumping off the picnic table hoping I would take air, but gravity won every time. Now that I’m older my fear of heights keeps this superpower off my list.
Invisibility. This would come in handy if you wanted to hear what people were saying about you, but some people can be harsh enough with what they say in front of you. I can’t imagine how hateful they can be when they think you can’t hear them.
Time travel. I think this one would be cool but be careful what time you choose because even though there are attractive things about certain ages, there is also a lot of potential death.
The power to read thoughts. You could finally be sure someone was lying or being honest, but are you ready if the thoughts are hurtful?
The ability to heal. I would like this superpower but imagine how busy you would be.
The chance to soothe. This would be mine. I would like to walk by people who are fighting, or struggling emotionally wave my hand, and solve the situation.
Even though all of these superpowers have drawbacks, we already have some qualities that can be considered superpowers of mere mortals. Here are a few.
Making someone feel special.
Showing love with the gift of food.
Helping your community.
Volunteering.
Listening to lonely people.
Doing acts of kindness.
So what superpower are you going to use to save the world?
