Inner Conversations Stories about Life by Iris - HTML preview

Superhero

Child: You are Superhero. You can change the system

and bring me freedom and hope. Are you going to save

me? 

Superhero: I cannot save you. I am as human as you

are. 

Child: But mummy says you have the power. People

follow you. People believe in you. 

Superhero: There is a difference between having power

and being powerful.

All of us have power. I am powerful because people

think that I am a Superhero. They think that I am

different from them. They think that I have more power

than them when the truth is that I have the same

amount of power as everyone else. By assuming that I

am different from you, you have given up your own

power. The ironic part is that when I am in power,

these people thought that I have saved them by giving

them back the very power that they had let go in the

first place.
