Why Does The World Need Superman?

Good question. Well i just saw superman in a local multiplex and believe me the movie was 'heroic' obviously coz it had our 'superhero'. This particular question was typed by Louis {superman's girlfriend} almost during the end of the movie, she aimed at writing an article dealing with the question, however she didnt and left the question as it is, so i took up the noble cause of answering her question. The question says: why does the world need superman?;I could answer it in a number of ways. To begin with and as would be very conventional; the world needs Superman to save it from war between countries, to end dirty politics, to save the environment, to bring about world peace, to save mankind during any crisis, to help the needy, to bring about equality, blah blah blah blah!!! However i have an alternate answer, which would be very individual in nature rather than being common. We all need superman within us, it gives a major boost to our morales to our ways of thinking etc. I mean who wdnt want to be like superman, who wdnt want to fly like he does, soar highhhhhhhhh through the clouds, it is indeed a great way to destress. Who wdnt want to be popular, who wdnt want to get the great feeling and all the recognition like he gets when he saves the day for all, who wdnt want to be strong and sooo goodlooking. We all have a superman in us, he may be unconscious and laid back ususally but when he awakens he turns us into a superhero in our own small way. It may seem that we are not doing anything great, we arent saving the world but we are contributing in some way or the other by fighting daily, facing bravely our circumstances, compromising, sacrificing and moving on. I believe it wd have been difficult for superman even had he been a normal human, i would like to quote; ''daal aate ka bhav pata chalta.'' To save the world is indeed a very big thing and i am not criticising superman, i am only saying that we too can contribute, by thinking, planning and putting into action all our ideal thoughts to make the world a better place to live in and we could start by bringing about a change in our own lives. After all charity begins at home.
