on heroes..

a number of people told us it was worth watching so we decided to give it a try...and besides, it was a long weekend and watching movies is one of our hobbies as a couple, and so we did.

and it turns out to be really interesting. what struck me the most is the fact that the characters' lives are so much intertwined. i remember the song, "the pilgrim's theme," which says that we are all part of the greater scheme of things and i guess, heroes affirms that in a way.

it speaks of destiny, that no matter how badly they want to turn away from it, even try to erase one's memory of it, a hero will always be a hero. some characters may be taking the word "hero" a little too seriously, like they really want to save the world singlehandedly. but saving the world does not require a superman nor a spiderman to accomplish such a task..it may mean saving the world, one person at a time. most of them have yet to know what they are capable of and i guess, being a hero means that you help these people realize their full potential and use it..to benefit the majority, of course.

it is fun to watch the series, even imagining what i would do if i have one of their powers. actually, i would want the power to hear other people's thoughts and the power to heal..hehe anyways, i have realized that we all have powers inside of us. maybe not supernatural powers like theirs, but we have the power to make a difference. we may not be able to fly or teleport or go through walls, but God lives on the inside of us and that is all the power that we need......to change the world, by touching people's lives with God's grace and mercy.
