Deciding Between Good and Evil: Using Your Superpowers Wisely

In every story of heroes and villains, the line between good and evil is clear. But in reality, the choices we make are rarely black and white. Especially when we possess so much power to make a significant impact. Instead, they exist on a grayscale. So, whether a decision affects just one person or influences many. How we choose to use our “superpowers”—our talents, abilities, and influence—can define who we are and what we stand for.

In this blog, we’ll dive into the complexities of our moral choices. The struggle between good and evil, and how we can use our personal superpowers wisely.

Complexities of Our Moral Choices

Each decision we make is influenced by a multitude of emotions, values, and circumstances. Think about it – whenever you’ve faced a tough choice—was it ever as simple as doing the “right” thing? More often than not, our choices are weigh against personal interests, external pressures, and the impact on those around us. This is where the grayscale comes in. We might not always have a perfect option. But we always try to find the most justifiable one, and that is what connects us to our humanity.

Real Life Example

Take Nelson Mandela as an example, who was once labeled a terrorist before becoming a symbol of peace and reconciliation. His choices were made under the pressures of political turmoil. However, he landed on the grayscale because his vision for a greater good guided his actions. Today, we come across many similar decisions, such as standing up against workplace injustice or wanting change in our community. So, every action, however small, can set off a series of reactions – like a domino effect that has the potential to shift our societal norms.

Take Help From Literature

Aside from real-life examples, we can also seek guidance from fictitious works. Such as Ria and the Domino Door by Justin Plato. This book teaches us how to use our superpowers wisely by discussing. The challenging choices that Ria faces when she discovers her extraordinary abilities and the weight of responsibility that comes with them. As the heir to a powerful legacy tied to ancient elemental forces, we see Ria stand at a crossroads. The story showcases how the line between good and evil is often blurry, and our decisions exist on a grayscale.
