Heroes

If you have a choice to decide one super power you can have, what would it be & why?

I'd love to be able to back to the past or to the future. To go back to the past to understand the series of events that had happened & how they caused the chain reaction of events to happen in the present time. Why? Perhaps just kaypohness & hoping to change some unfortunate events from happening or know the lottery number so I could win the lotteries, invest & make money, set up a company & hire those who really need a job and invest the money in an educational and healthcare fund. But having watched 'Back to the Future', my interferences could also mean changing the outcomes and maybe even cause more troubles as a result.

But if there's one thing I could change, I would go back to the past & make my mum meet another guy and my dad meet another woman.

Well, my hubby would like to be able to command fire or lightning. Guess too much of cartoons & comics for him...

One of my colleagues would like to have the power to fly - so that she could fly all over the world & save on air tix costs. Preferably all her family members would share the same power, otherwise she would have to make several trips just to bring them to wherever she goes.

Another would like to be invisible so that she could know what's happening. Somewhat a little like me with the element of kaypohness. Yet she's contented to know what's happening & not what the person is thinking, hence it's no to psychic powers for her.

Another one would like to be the invincible - able to self-heal & not suffer any external injuries. If I can still grow old and die eventually, I don't mind having this power since I won't be hurt myself easily judging from the occasional bruises that I have. Or better, to be able to heal others, so goodp people won't die because of illness...but that means I'll be super busy with people queing to be cured, doctors and nurses might be out of jobs, insurance agents have less commissions to earn since healthcare insurances won't be necessary. Perhaps, the world might even be over-populated which may result in famine if there's insufficient food or environmental pollution.

Perhaps the power to heal people emotionally may be a better power. People won't feel depress, angry, jeolous, agitated, hatred...and just feel happy. Perhaps without negative feelings, the world might be a more peaceful and beautiful place. No wars, no racism, no class distinction, no terrorism...

There are always 2 sides of the coin. When there's goodness, there's also evil. So while the powers are put to good use, there'll be repercussions. Too much of a good may not be good. To quote Spiderman's Uncle Ben 'with great power comes great responsibility.

So what power would you like to have?
