Message from Spider Man

There are profound truth in Spiderman the movie.

In the Spiderman 2, one of the messages is that there is a hero in all of us. Everyone needs a hero.

Another message is that in doing the right things we have to give up our dreams. Dr Octopus sacrificed his life and his dreams to save a city. In real life, a filial man gave up his marriage to care for his elderly mother. In the Shogan era of Japan, warrior go to war and prepared to laid their lives for the emperor even though they know it's a lost cause.

I gave up the pursuit of my dreams and became a corporate slave because it was the right time to ensure the needs of the family is provided for. I wanted to sell my house and invest all my life saving to pursue an education that will ensure a secure job that will last me till I die. Can I afford to take the risk? What a dilemma?

At a time of depression and persecution, I gave up all my pursuit to preserve my sanity and strength. No more toastmasters. No more writers group. The old me died. No more updating of blogs.

Spiderman's message in Spiderman 3 is that the greatest enemy lies within us.
Somehow deep inside, I know we are more than we can be. Everyone has greatness within that has yet to be unleashed. I know we have yet to unleash our true potential. To live in mediocrity is to devalue our worth and what we can become.

I tried to do the best I can each day. I sacrifice the present for the better good of my family. But deep down, the dream never die. Someday the truth will prevail. Someday the greatness will manifest. God forbid that I live in vain and bury the songs with me in my grave.
