Heroes - I can't do it without you

July 18

Just finished the series Heroes Season 1. (It will be shown on Pearl starting from August 7th.)

As the series progress, more and more I heard the Heroes are saying "I can't do this without you." A sudden sense of compassion fills me. I mean, given Heroes as they are, they know they cannot do this alone. They reach out and ask for help. They seek each other out and try to do this together with one theme at heart. They honour each other.

And in a way the series also take a very honest look about being special, being given something of power. And how frightful it can be when you are carrying something not of the collective even though in most of our minds we would think that it is something great. The sacrifice of being special and the beauty of being simple.

And Unconditional Love includes it all, special and simple, power and powerlessness.
