Not One Man of Steel, But a Society of Strength

"My father believed that if the world found out who I really was, they'd reject me.  He was convinced that the world wasn't ready.  What do you think?"

 

On so many levels, this is brilliant, timely writing.

 

I don't think we would be ready for a Superman in our midst.  We're too fearful of feeling insignificant in the grand scheme of things. 

 

This isn't an issue, though; whether we're waiting for a saviour or not, nobody's going to come down from on high and raise us up. 

 

That's the big secret - we'll only get there on our own, together.

 

Which is why I have to disagree with the writing team on one point - the solution isn't to look at the world as an island.  It's to recognize we're not islands and start bridging the gap.
