Becoming The Overman

I have fallen out from my egotistical stage. For allowing it to even exist, I apologize. Or, as Roland would say, I cry your pardon. I was supposed to be a philosophical being beyond fads and stages, beyond the ethereal. But I started believing I was greater than others, that my thoughts transcended others abilities, and in doing so I had forgotten the face of my father. Again, I cry your pardon. I lost touch of the humility that kept me from becoming evil, and I strayed from the beaten path. I wondered why it felt so wrong, and now I know. Now I have remembered the face of my father, and all is well again.

As Superman’s father once told him, “Do not punish yourself for your feelings of vanity, simply learn to control them. It is an affliction common to all, even here on Krypton. Why, our destruction could have been avoided if not for the vanity of some who considered us…indestructible.”
