Over the last few days I've been re-watching the series Heroes. Even though I'm not a fan of how the last season or so went, I have many strong connections with this show, and it's themes.
For the majority of my life, I've done what i can to live it in a good light. Sure, there was always darkness, but, that was my darkness.
If a friend was in need, and I could help, I would. No matter how many times I may have been ignored, or left to my own devices by that very same friend.
Looking at my life, what has happened, I tend to ask. What the fuck was I thinking?
Given, I ask that about a lot of things that have happened.
It has made me think, many times. What would happen if I had power. I'm not even talking about super powers or anything, just, actual power. How long could I go before I abused it? Before I made those under me suffer the wrath? I've paid a lot of dues in life. Whether it be simple grunt work, to running errands for whatever reason. Still, what do I really have to show for it? I can't find work, because of many things, but I have no single piece of paper from some muckity muck saying I know how to do something.
I'm sorry I just know, without having to spend $40,000 on some school that used to be something you did as an apprentice, and learned on the job.
But,
I digress.
My point here, is that, if I could ever truly have some sort of power, I think I would do what I can to keep it, to grow it. Heroes... villains... It really does come down to whose perspective you view it from... does it not?
