human powers we wish we had


imagine if you were superman, or wonder women? the green lantern or hulk? imagine you could slip through walls or jump 20 ft into the air? most people feel like it would be the coolest thing in the world to have, a super power, but is it really worth it? taking that special part of reality away?
maybe it was your first time driving by yourself, after just passing your drivers test. your parents trust you with the car and ask you to go down to the grocery store to pick up a few things; you can probably guess what's going to happen next. you arrive home with the grocery's in hand but now you have to tell them about the mysterious dent on the side of the car. and at this moment, you might want the power to vanish into thin air or reverse time; be a little more careful next time you drive.
or maybe your at track practice and this one girl is just going on and on about how she just beat your PB by a whole 20 milliseconds(let's say the event is 100m). you probably just want to practice again and beat her time by a whole second now. the nifty super power of speed. but then again, it may just drive you to train that much harder and beat her new time with your own determined speed.
i'm not saying having super powers wouldn't be cool. i mean, it would be the coolest thing in the world; any possible super power in the world wether it be the ability to see into the future or turn back time. but then again, reality is so full of surprises that even though you may not be superman, you sometimes feel like you have the greatest human power; maybe love or beauty. think about it.
