The third movies in several trilogies (Spiderman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek) has hit Hong Kong in the last month or so, leaving many here struggling to catch up with the first one, or two of them so they are fully up to date with the final instalments (or getting a refresher course!)I watched the second Spiderman movie the other night, and yes, and now keen to watch the final instalment. I was struck though, in this one, by the comparison between Spiderman, the superhero, and the man within. Or, rather, the man, Peter Parker with the superhero within.
It left me wondering about ideals and expectations, who we want to see, and who we actually end up with as we get to know someone. I don’t think anyone could have imagined that quiet Peter Parker could possibly turn out to be Spiderman, but there we go…. Is the super hero hidden inside movies, or…do we secretly look for and expect the superhero, or are they in everyone waiting to be uncovered, given the right circumstances (trigger/venom/situation)… I think there is probably a superhero in all of us, given the right circumstances, though it may not be what we expect to see(given that there are a lot of different kinds of superheros out there). But given that God created each of us to for a specific plan and purpose, and gave us all we need to do all he asks, I think we are all off to a pretty good startJ
Which then brings us to how we use our gifts…!
