If I were a superwoman


Once or all the time, I guess that everyone has thought of this question: If I were a superman or superwoman, what would happen? What would I do?
The answer can be so obvious. If I were a superwoman, I could become a hero just like Spiderman or Batman, travelling through the whole world to look for the inequity of the world and helping with building a world full of fairness. I could pay attention to the hungry and homeless people to secure their basic requirements of life, as well as consummate the system of education, especially mental education. I could protect the world from wars and natural disasters.
In fact, this is the answer given by one of my best friends. She holds the view that the responsibility people should afford, is closely linked to the ability they own. So she told me that if she were a superwoman, she would set a good example for the public and do whatever she can to ensure common people’s normal life.
As for me, however, I have to say that I seem to be too selfish; I would rather do nothing and keep on living a peaceful and normal life as others. One reason is that I always think no one has the right to decide and change others’ destiny. Another reason is that … I am too lazy.
However, these are not the most important reason which makes me determined. Living as a hero is not as easy as we used to regard it as, especially living as such a superhero. Being too excellent sometimes means being lonely, because you can hardly obtain comprehension and resonance from someone else. As we all know, people always want to be in, so a person who cannot find a group is so pitiful. Furthermore, a hero is always expected to do the right things, which may need him to sacrifice himself, his family, his friends, or even his lover. Can common people really understand a hero’s sadness and helplessness?
From my heart, I sympathize with these heroes in their sacrifice. I feel quite sorry, for their saving our world again and again, whiles few of them get the honour they are deserved.
If I have to draw a conclusion, I hope I could be an average person as long as I live. There will be heroes, and I would be glad to be an audience clapping for them.

  1. In my memory, Spiderman once said that more powerful one person is, more responsibilities he has to take on.

    1. Yes. This may be the "right" choice that we should make, but sometimes I just want to be a bit selfish... Ok, the point is that we should give these heroes the honour they deserve, rather than just enjoying the world protected by them.

  2. I think being a superman is a wonderful thing, but things like saving the world are too arduous. So I will use my super power only for fun.

  4. I like Batman very much. In my opinion. whether we have super abilities or not, we must take our own responsibility at least.

  5. Yeah,even being a superman or superwoman,we still do not want to be a heroes who should take great responsibilities.And our not willing to be a hero or take responsibilities make me be more touched by those real heroes who do not have super power but still take great responsibilities. We should learn from them and whether we like or not,there are responsibilities that we have to take.We should be more mature.

    1. I agree that the reason we are touched by these heroes is their high sense of responsibility which we common people do not have or do not want to have. We do need to learn from them.
