There are times when we probably feel like we don't fit in with ourselves. No matter how close you are to your friends, at some point you find that there are things you can't talk about with them. There may always be one or two songs that only you like to listen to, some books that only you want to read, some feelings that only you can feel, and some things that only you seem to insist on. Then, at those times, you would think, are you an outlier, or are everyone drunk and I wake up alone?
In the era of living, Superman, as a pioneer of justice, can do anything as long as it is to punish the wicked. Our society is even willing to pay any price in exchange for the victory of justice. Later, society no longer rewarded justice. People would rather have autonomy and allow a certain amount of evil to appear around them to ensure that their lives will not be troubled by Superman when he seeks justice. Superman lags behind the situation and seeks his own ideals in the dark night when he only cares about the interests of the community and ignores individuality.
After all, Superman is a contradictory individual: on the one hand, what he pursues is the public good of society, but what he gets is the view of individual heroism. This kind of justice that can only be done at night is distorted. When we learn to respect only the individual, it brings a publicly recognized benefit, which is individual liberty.
It is this set of contradictory values that Superman believes in. He understands that being an ordinary person brings freedom to his family, and he also understands that their special skills only lead to discrimination, even if they only want to work for society. He can only work hard, hoping to realize his ideal of saving the world under various frameworks.
But that frame is still just a spell. Modern society privatizes public interests and becomes the group interests of shareholders. This work is for, and only for, the interests of the company group. Salvation is only a selling point and will never become the main axis. Superman never understands this identity, he only knows that he should create something similar to his abilities.
The mysterious invitation to salvation becomes an irresistible temptation. Superman was meant to live to fight evil. If there is no evil to be punished, being an ordinary person will only bring dissatisfaction. He also couldn't explain why he wanted to collect his abilities. So, he was obliged. Note, not just him, but his friends as well.
In the end, personal freedom became the reason for Superman's capture. The lone ranger's greatest danger is being captured. Once the individual liberals fall into the trap, they can only fight alone until they are outnumbered. The family has become the salvage, a day of sunshine.
