I believe that's what appeals to all of us who become enthralled by the action mixed with ethical questions and individuality along with the hope of combined camaraderie. All of these characters hold personal pain and sense of failure. Still, they strive to be "better than past moments have permitted."
Running into the psychopath in my life - and there was a mutuality about that where I exposed my less than healthy states and felt the draw and allure of the alien force of magnetic pull which promised an illusion of finding wholeness - I discovered something by looking at my own reflection at the bottom of the dark well. Just as the heroes, their back up support systems of others, and the very philosophy of "right" let down the barriers to acknowledging all of themselves, so have I.
Trust in the flow of this and all universes has returned. There may be incidents where "the piper must be paid," but there is a grand scheme of energy and we each and every one of us have a place. The AMAZING joy comes with the discovery that there really IS choice - always of our own decision's prowess and the mettle of our own souls. Battles of all shapes, sizes, and fearful encounters exist and we all have the choice of using our sense of unparalleled consciousness of moral obligation. Will the story have the applause of those within our realm of action? Perhaps not, but we will know that we stood the ground of distinctions between right and wrong and cared for more than our individual selves.
Since emerging from the dark and hollow land of the survivors of a psychopathic encounter where our goodness was twisted, I am less afraid that I will not like the me that arises in unusual situations. Surprise of surprises, I have discovered that it has never been my ego that stood to gain a foothold. It has been that part of me connected to soul that always remains extant.
Will I know upset...fear...and even the judgemental kickback of others? Maybe. But after my inoculation within the ordeal, life is sweeter. I have even discovered my great passion for the well being of children - to aid them in safety, survival, and to offer a glimmer of hopeful expectation. Optimism is the key to creating the life that we can "sink our teeth into." I used to feel that I could more easily recognize lessons in the flows of life others exhibited. Now, I have been granted the gift of evaluating my own short comings and attempts at redemption. Not only am I a humble offering of humanity, but privileged to be so. As each of us lesser heroes in this energy of vital functionality faces our personal demons and questions over paths and selection preferences, we become greater than just our own stream of living on its own.
Purpose and aim of positive meaning give our moment in time significance. No matter what our state - real life hero, advocate against bullying, care provider, spouse, conscientious employee, or any other title in which we invest the best of ourselves - we owe it to the existence of possibility to strive toward higher realms of comprehension and understanding.
There may always be those opposed to elevated energy and benefit to mankind and the spiritual domains. It matters not. For in the instant that we choose to be courageous and make a difference, all time becomes one moment.
"We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them
out of existence, kill the, ban them, mock them,and still they return, patiently
reminding us of who we are...
and what we wish we could be." ~Grant Morrison
