The success of the super-hero concept and its related
thoughts and movies, staggers me. The success of such movies is an indication
of our earnest pursuit to claim power and authority. The aspiration in most of
us to show-off our supremacy over fellow beings is the trigger. The irony lies
in our losing our subtlety.
We are losing our capabilities to grasp the subtle
aspects of life; moving towards superficial gross display of power and authority.
When we hail the super-hero concept, though everyone wants good to win; the
black hole that engulfs one's merit is the loss of humility to the thought of
performance and hence ego.
There were days when we grew up listening to puranic
tales; wherein everyone were mere common men; and it can be only GOD that can
save everyone else from evil. The best act of every common man then was to pray
earnestly to GOD accepting his limitations with humility. When humility arises
empathy accompanies. Empathy and humility gives birth to respect and love.
Humility and Empathy maketh a man - HE-MAN. But when
we say HE-MAN, what we perceive is gross physical power; and here lies the
irony in spite of his depiction to be good - The Black Hole. This is the case
with every super-hero concept. So very deceptive they are. Always..
I perceive all these super-hero concepts and ideas as
the manifestation of the Kali Yuga. Let us all try not to be super-heroes but
normal human beings with every effort to be good and humble.
The world is in need of honest, good and normal human
beings with limitations on the gross front. One's limitations on the gross
front is the essence of humility. These limitations are actually blessing in
disguise, quite opposite to the super-hero ideas which are a curse in disguise.
It is vivid that the super-hero ideas and concepts
are imaginary; but our aspirations for power, authority over humility and
empathy are real. Bitter Truth. Super hero concepts and ideas are mere
reflections of our choice for power and authority over humility and empathy.
