Response to Superman Can't Fly

This is my response to Peter's Post.

  Back to the topic, what happen to a superman if he can't fly? Would he still try to help people out even though it is more dangerous than before? What is the definition of a "superman"? My own opinion to it is that a guy who does good things and contributes a lot to the society. To fight some bad guys and save people from the detonation and fly away is just the cartoon version which is unreal in our life. It is cool and we all hope for this person comes to us, but it is impossible, at least sure for now.

I feel that Peter's opinion of what a superman is is true. I feel that a "superman" is sort of a good Samaritan.

A "superman" in the way that people think of it, is a hero who has super powers ad can do many things that a normal person cannot. They are sort of fairy tail figures. They are the people that only have the good qualities in people, while the villains only have the bad qualities. A superhero to them, is a person who can perform superhuman feats, and will never be tempted by "evil". On the other hand, the villains are nonredeemable criminals/ fiends who only have the bad part of human qualities and seem to have no other purpose in life than to make the lives of other people miserable.

On the other hand, the people that Peter is talking about, the good Samaritans are just normal people. They are normal people who have the kindness in their hearts to help a random stranger that is in need. They have both the good and bad side of humanity in their hearts, not just the pure "good" and the pure "evil" of the superheros and villains in the comic books, fairy tales, etc.
