There is always the question of self

There are often times where I read stories about the true depravity of human nature, and it makes me contemplate who I am. Recently I've been reading the book "studies in black and red", a log of mostly British criminals who kill for barely any profit, and are eventually caught and tried for their crimes. What kind of person does it take to feel a cold corpse and see only money I wonder. Honestly, whenever I read a story of that nature I envision myself in some sort of position to save the people who are being attacked. Power. Why do people desire so much power for themselves if there is always someone more powerful. I go to the gym partly because in the back of my mind there is always that nagging feeling that someday there will be a use for my power. I don't really buy into the superhero doctrine, the theory that everyone has their own ability that they can hone. It's realism that begins to set in at some point. Some people are weak in mental fiber, and are malleable to the will of others. I try not to pass judgment on that type of person either, some very cool people I know aren't very strong, and that isn't a bad thing necessarily. The point I started to write about however, Is that although not everyone has an ability, some people do. There are some people who for whatever reason exist as more than themselves. My thoughts on this are not really specific, but ill try the best I can to be clear. First off, David has some strange aura about him, such that things he does not understand are made clear as he works them out. He seems to have been born with some kind of intuition that applies only to his own ignorance. There have been a few times where he has tried to do something, it succeeds, and then later on I see what is going on and explain that this event isn't possible, or at least will not produce the results that David expects, and lo and behold, I am right. Micheal is the next one, his ability is such that he is always on the edge of society, culture, school, etc. It's a really hard idea to pin down, because of the constantly changing nature of things. Andrew tends to live inside of his own world, and in this world there is a subtle dark flow that is pretty much the source for all his music. As a side effect on this, he's quite distant to some people, and to others he has no regard for the societal conventions that they posses. Lastly and perhaps the most detailed, I, myself, believe that my ability is time. For some reason or another, its been mentioned to me that I have uncanny timing. The odd part about this is, I've also been told I have excellent geometric perception. These two elements at first seem distant, but when you think of time/space as the same thing, both interrelating as we know them to be in our universe, I find the correlation between the two unsurprising. Another annoying aspect of this is that I have a tendency to do things too quickly, or hastily(Even this was done as fast as possible). So yeah, there are some horrible people in the world, an if you aren't ready to fight for those you care about, then you really don't care about anyone.
