It suddenly occurred to me that the reason why we sometimes find ourselves exasperated or angry at the people around is because there are not enough X-Men around. There is a lack of people possessing superpowers in the world!
We want them to have the superpowers of infinite patience, understanding, kindness, wisdom and intelligence. We would like them to anticipate our every need, request, want and desire. We want them to be telepathic and empathetic. We want them to defy the law of gravity and place us at the centre of the universe. They should have an inexhaustible supply of good humour when we are down, radiate energy like the sun when we are tired and possess colossal strength to carry our burdens for us.
Yet, we use our words and actions to diminish the power of these X-Men around us everyday, whether unconsciously or consciously. Soon, they lose their super-magnetic attractiveness to us, and we use our own power of magnification to focus laser-beam like on every imperfection.
Let us add to the power of the X-Men around us. At the same time, let's all try to slowly mutate into someone's X-Men in our daily life =)
