To have a superpower, or not to have it ... that's the question!


I have never wondered this question, probably because I don't think my emotional hapiness would change a lot if a had so. But thinking it better, I would really love having the ability to fly, I would be able to get anywhere without spending money on buses, and it would take me less time of travelling, eventually.
Also, I think having a super intelligence would be fine. I'm not saying that I'm a stupid person or something, but sometimes I feel intellectually excluded, I don't like giving my opinion about thinks I'm not aware enough, and that makes me feel not being able to talk about specific topics that I'm not familiar with, but that I find interesting when I hear them from other people's mouths.
And lastly, I would like enjoying a super vision, because I've got problems with my eyes; I suffer from myopia, a small percentage of strabismus and a lack of depth perception. So having this ability would change my life completely, my eyes wouldn't get tired so easily when I read, watch films or write. And I wouldn't have to wear glasses.
On the other hand, there are some other superpowers I wouldn't like having at all. For example, the ability to read other people's minds, knowing every single thing that people is thinking would be awful, there are some thinks you shouldn't hear, just because it could hurt your own feelings, and I think I would get mad. Other superpower I would hate having, would be immortality. We are humans, we have our life cycle and we have to accept that somehow, somewhere, someday it would end, because it's something that has to happen. It would be horrible to get tired of life, wouldn't be?
