Superpowers

Here I want to discuss superpowers. It's a pretty common question, so that's why I think, over the years, I've thought about it a lot.

1. I would want my superpower to be flying. I just think flying is SO freaking awesome- I'm so jealous of birds. Can you imagine how it would feel? Can you imagine the freedom?

   1. You would never feel afraid of heights again...

   2. Any problem associated with heights would be completely eliminated, and instead you'd feel elated to be high up.

   3. I'd combat my weather difficulties and wind daily- I'd be outside a lot.

   4. ~One with nature~

   5. ~One with air~

   6. ~One with the element of wind~ -I think this would get me to stop hating wind so much.

   7. You could get places so much faster. No traffic. No cars. No roads. No car accidents!!! Like the diagonal distance in math versus a hundred different paths- of getting to the same exact location.

2. Invisibility- though this seems to me to be appealing because of Harry Potter and his cloak of invisibility- this not only would not be my top superpower, I think it has some serious downsides.

   1. Though it'd be cool that no one can see you, I think the only things you can do with this superpower would be bad things

   2. Just because no one's watching, or I guess, in this case, no one sees, doesn't make it the right thing, you know?

   3. This superpower would lead to wayyy too much temptation for your own good.

   4. Like, you'd feel tempted to go into a store and just take something, without paying.

   5. Then again, there are good things you could do with it, like if you're in danger, no one can see you, or you can cover somebody else with the cloak...

3. Reading minds- absolutely NOT!!!

   1. Why would you want to know what's going on in somebody's head?

   2. Do you even know what goes on inside of your head?

   3. Do you think the things that go on inside of you head you would want somebody else to know? (Think " treat others how you want to be treated ") ?!!

   4. Invasion of privacy (major)

   5. It's not fair...not all our thoughts are ours...

   6. People would get unnecessarily noisy and concerned (esp. imagine intrusive thoughts)

   7. You don't control your thoughts...

   8. You might get at really bad thought but it's not yours and you try to retract it but someone reads it and accepts it as yours...imagine the implications...

   9. Imagine the political implications (this person was thinking this!!!) "they're a racist!" or what only could it not be...

   10. Don't want to know what others are thinking tbh at all, because I think it's not right and not my place to know, plus that knowing that information can do things to you and lead to sin in so many different methods

   11. On another note, the mysteriousness of life would be majorly lost.

       1. We wouldn't even need to talk to people. We'd assume we can just read their thoughts (wrong! imagine what that'd lead to...so many problems)

       2. Like imagine accidentally thinking something bad about your friend or some bad thought coming into your head...boom 💥friendship ruined.

   12. You know how there's things better left unsaid? Same with this...

   13. And knowing someone can read your mind would ONLY make your thoughts worse. Because that's human nature. We can't laugh? Oh suddenly, everything is funny....
