People are fascinated to see films with magical themes or with supernatural powers like harry potter and heroes. Quite inevitable for people to dream to have abilities that are unique and different. Many wanted to fly, travel through time, walk through water, read minds, have super power strengths, etc etc. The list goes on and we can come up with almost the weirdest idea that can be thought of.
However, I think we do have powers of our own. Some just don't know about them and are really not as exaggerated like those on film. For example, other have a great memory or a photographic memory while others can do calculations in their heads. Others can lift heavy objects or run for hours.
It is believed that our brain usage is around 5-10% only and maximizing it can give us these extraordinary abilities. Science do not have any proof and skeptics will surely disagree. I am a new age believer and what I believe in are a result of my rationalization on what is logical and what is not in this world add the experiences I had and observation on the world. I may be right or I maybe wrong, but the fact is that I believe that strange things do happen.
For one, I know I have a gift. It is my instinct. It helps me mostly when I am in trouble, not physically, but emotionally. Along with it, I do believe that my instinct helps me analyze people when I get a chance to talk to them for only a few minutes. I can "sorta" gauge their personality if their are either good or bad. This isn't a make believe because it happened a lot of times. During my college days, I was tasked to recruit staff member for our organization and I can see through their words. Rather than hearing their words, I can hear their soul. I did have the right choices and those who didn't believed me first, realized it after a few incident when they opposed my suggestions. Also, the next batch of officers asked me to help them in the interview and without papers or names, I just asked them questions other think are inappropriate or irrelevant. It is not about the question, but more of the reasoning that would let you see through them. After a series of interviews, I told them my assessment and they were shocked that I got information more than was presented and other personal ideas.
My "gift " maybe started when I long to study human behaviors when I was in high school thus prompting me to get a Psychology degree. My interest in the human mind and behavior didn't stop. I try my best to interact with different minds and people from all walks of life to know more. Learning how people think, why they do certain things, and how they reason out. There really isn't a right answer, but there will always be a better answer for us.
why I suddenly brought this up? I suddenly started pondering on the idea of such gift. Why do we have these gifts? What is the purpose of it? It was until recently, I realized the real reason behind everything. As Hiro Nakamura should save the cheerleader to save the world, we are also in a mission to save the world. We are now living in a new world where the line between good and bad is diminishing. There are people with bent reality that we need to enlightened. Others who are blinded by the negativity around them and that happiness seems to be a fairytale. Lost souls that need companion, someone to pat their back, someone to hold their hand, someone to hug them in times of trouble, someone to tell them "everything will be okay", or someone to let them feel love.
Crazy as this may sound, I think there is no greater "high" than to help someone to the right track. Gandhi, Mother Teresa and Helen Keller are a few who wanted to not just save the world but to change it into a better place. They used their special abilities to put a bend in reality and try to better this world we live in. Others may still not believe in special abilities. But for me, I will try to save the cheerleader to save the world.
