Believing Again

I wish I could believe in Superman again. As a child Superman was one of my biggest idols. He was the whole package, he could fly, he was super strong, faster than a speeding bullet, and he had laser coming out of his eyes. Superman saved the innocent and put the "bad people" in jail. By day he was just a reporter, but by night he was a crime fighting machine. I thought it was awesome how he changed in a phone booth and how he had a double identity. It was very entertaining to watch the different shows about him with all of his different enemies. In different shows they made up new characters, but the main ones were always the same. Clark Kent falls in love with Lois Lane while battling Lex Luther. Superman set the bar pretty high for all of the crime fighters and that was why I loved him. I know now that there is no possible way that a person could fly or shoot lasers out of their eyes. I would like to believe it again experience the hopefulness all over again.
