Mirrors

Lois Lane wrote "Why the world doesn’t need Superman", and then she changed her mind and wrote "Why the world needs Superman". Well, i agree with her! I think we do need superman! Well…may be not exactly the gorgeous in blue and red tights!But in this world full of people who think that the world is revolving around their feet, we do need someone that think he/ she’s the one who revolves around it. The problem is, like the man of steele with killer blue eyes, not many of those people exist anymore. So what do we do? Just wait for some alien spacecraft, carrying a baby with superpower to crash? Or waiting for some millionaire heir become psycho because of the death of his parents and trying to eliminate all evil in this world? Or maybe waiting for some cute but stupid reporter got bitten by spider and change him into a mutant? Or maybe…we should start think that the world is not revolving under our feet! Starting to realize that we are the one who revolve around it! Starting form the easiest part…notice people around you! I know this is absurd since it is coming from me but sometimes there are people who are just so slow that they didn’t realize that they actually made a damage to someone! I know most of them think that we should tell them they were wrong or what was their fault. But does it always have to be like that? Do we have to feed them all the way so they know what to do? I don’t think so.
I believe in something called "common sense", If we just stop for a second and put those the world-is revolving-around-me-thing away, we would realize things that should and ought to do. That is common sense, it’s there but we don’t realize it. One always think whether one was the most important person in the whole world or the opposite, one was the most useless and suffered person in the whole world. Well, news flash, one not! A person is just one tiny little dots in billions of problems and success in the world, so if you say you’re the most miserable person in the world, that’s just because you think the world is rotating because of you. Well, time to face up reality, it doesn’t! The world doesn’t revolving around someone but someone is revolving around the world!
That’s why we need a superhero! Inside a world full of self-centered humans, we need someone who actually put the others before him/herself. The ideal of a saviour who can understand people’s pain despite of his own pain. Well may be not in a form of a man/woman in tights and masks but may be more in a form of a person or people that actually helps and cares during our daily lives. And instead of sneering or torturing them with harsh or cold words, i think we should cheers for them because not all can do what those superheroes do; Putting someone else’s, putting the world before yourself. 
So before you put your words to judge yourself (or those heroes), just take a look around you, hear the voices see the faces, and maybe just maybe you will realize, that the world is not some small place that revolving around us. Then if you can’t, well, maybe you should admit that you do need a superhero (saviour) to remind you of those voices and faces.
