I Am Not Superman
Well, on Saturday night, HBO showed the movie Superman Returns which I believed my maid didn't watch as she kept saying it looks different from what she saw aeons back. And she totally engrossed in the movie...well...any exciting movie to be frank. The movie has a part where Superman fly skyhigh with Louis Lane and he asks her what can she hear. Of course as a human, she hears nothing but to Superman he hears everything. He hears the cries for a Saviour. This got me thinking for a while.
I am not Superman. Definitely. I don't have superhuman strength, run at supersonic speeds, shoot beams from my eyes or fly. But then, somehow, I am Superman. 'Cos we share the one thing in common. A Samaritian heart.
People usually will find me a nag or a busybody as I tend to poke my nose into their businesses. But to me, it's my way of showing concern. I'll give my opinions and advice to those (who I feel) will need them. I don't care whether they will remember or take them but at least I know I have done my part as a friend or a senior. I am not like Superman who is respected by his chivalry or who he is. But frankly speaking, I feel weak and useless when my good intentions got rejected or misunderstood...
Someone told me not to be disappointed. For my advice and words, they could be stepping stones or memories for others to rely on in the future. I should not expect rewards or thanks. Even Superman can't save everyone all the time. Everyone has their own life to take of and they have the right to decide on their own what's good for them. So, I just live my life too, being a 'busybody'. No one can change that. Lol!
I just hope things don't become what I expected. I will be always around to those who need my advice. ^^
