If I had a power, I would chose something meaningful. Flying would be thrilling and life changing; I could soar above the world and see things from another perspective. I've always wanted to travel the world. Flying would the key. However, flying would benefit me. It would allow me to achieve a dream of mine- one singular dream- that is to see the world. My mind goes to flying, but my heart and soul reject that for a reason I can only attempt to express. The world is in a state of crisis. The world has always been in a state of crisis. The bad guys are in charge making it impossible for the good guys to achieve hero status- thus saving the world. Or maybe even the universe. So how can I, a good guy with no power, choose a "power" that only serves myself? The answer is I can't and won't. Because lets face it- flying is not power. Invisibility is not power. Time travel is not power. As defined by The Oxford Dictionary, power is the ability to do something or act in a certain way, especially as a faculty or quality." Wikipedia defines power in relation to social science and politics; it defines it as the capacity of an individual to influence others.
World leaders, government officials, and the top 1% undeniably have the most power in the world. They also happen to be the very reason for the crisis taking place in our world. The question is still unanswered. What power would I choose? How can I save the world? I am not fit to be a world leader, I have no desire to adhere to our corrupt government, and while I could wish to be a billionaire- I just do not believe that would be enough in this time. As I sit here and stew over this, I am increasingly aware that there isn't an easy solution to fixing the state of our world. So maybe I do choose to fly.
