But there are some very real and spiritual lessons to be learned from the Man of Steel.
1) WEAKNESS- Everyone has a weakness and Superman's was kryptonite...it left him vulnerable and weak...but he still persevered and remained strong. We all have weaknesses but at the end of the day, we have to stay strong and persevere.
2) HOME- Like all of us at certain times in our lives, his planet was destroyed so he virtually could not go home...and he referenced his pain on this point time and time again. Only when we're separated from it, do we realize how precious home truly is.
3) FAMILY- His family sacrificed everything for him by sending him off before the planet exploded. Families sacrifice and that's what cements the bond between the living and the 'dead'.
4) SACRED SPACE- Superman had his sacred space in the Fortress of Solitude a place where he found solace. We all need a fortress of solitude in which we put up our walls and boundaries and do not give anyone permission to enter into our space that we need in order to communicate with the divine.
5) GIVING BACK- Superman helped people and that's what his main purpose and mission in life was...to help those who cannot help themselves.
So...time to wash that cape that you've been wearing for so long.
After all, you're a superhero and the Universe has your back...time to soar.
