A WORLD WITHOUT HEROES

InvisibleWriter001

Who are our heroes? Do we have Superman, Batman or Spiderman watching out for us? Who do we call for when trouble lurking behind us?

We used to have heroes. They come undisguised as ‘leaders’. These are the people that we look out for their wisdom. These are the people we look for guidance. They come in many ranks.

They are the Prime Ministers, Teachers, Ministers, Penghulus, Imams, Religious Teachers and Trade Union Leaders etc.

But these are leaders of yester years, except for the PM or Ministers who are still very much the heart of the nation, are on the brink of extinction. Whenever problems arise, we look for new hero. These breed of heroes have been around for ages but recently they’ve got new power
BOOST in the form of Vitamin M.

They’ve using Vitamin M to garner support and trust from the common public. Unfortunately new problem popped-out. Sudden increase in consumption of Vitamin M caused over-dose to our beloved new breed of heroes.

The situation today seems bleak for them. Many have succumbed to temptation. Vitamin M caused them to lose touch with reality. They’ve lost the plot. The powers generated from Vitamin M were used to generate more Vitamin M. But unfortunately this Vitamin M was for personal use, not to serve the general public.

With the demise of these so called boosted up heroes, what the future holds for us mere mortals?

Is the future promise uncertainty for us? This is the time for us mortals to rise and shape our own future. We don’t need any regular heroes. What we need is a total re-branding. We don’t need mere heroes. What we need is a bunch of SUPER-HEROES.

We need to shape them and tell what we expect of them. Don’t make the same mistake as the previous heroes. We should be blamed too for their wrong doings. Our silence has caused evil to rein control.

What we need now is a total re-branding. The new super heroes need to garner support from the fence sitter. They’re the younglings of this nation. The future leaders who will one day take the throne from current super-heroes.

The new super-heroes should be a role model for the younglings should one day they too become a super-hero. It’s up to the current super-heroes to undo all the wrong doings, to get rid of all cancerous mindset. Show to everyone that it’s not easy to be a super-hero, but if taken seriously and with full responsibility, no problem can’t be solved.

I just saw The Watchman. It’s not a typical super hero movie. Read between the lines and the subtext. This is one of the most both politically correct and incorrect super hero movie ever made, depends on which side you’re watching from.

We need heroes. We need someone we can count on. Someone that will come to the rescue, not someone we have to beg to bring us to safety. A world without heroes is like a world without sun.

You can’t look up to anything or anyone because there’s nothing to look up to.
