You ever notice that in childhood we often gravitate to the villains?

This is normal. Because we are eager to grow, to ascend above the crowd and to destroy the system, in which every year becomes more and more closely to exist.

I remember in literature classes, I always wrote an essay about the villains, realizing and protecting their image.
No matter who it is - John Silver from the novel "Treasure Island", Charles Manson or the Joker. Between them from this point of view there is no difference.


For example, Joker

The important thing to a teenager is to not be like everyone else. For a teenager this is very important, because the teenager is looking for himself, forms himself.

We all know that in the crowd not to find himself. Therefore, it is necessary to oppose themselves to the society.

But then when the person finds himself (sometimes it takes whole life), everything changes.

Coming out of the crowd, it has the ability to walk alone, to go away and look at it from afar.

And you know what it looks like at a distance? The crowd suddenly looks small. Required protection.

And people want to help her. He does it in his power, which he fully recognized, revealed and developed in the course of the journey inward yourself.

The man uses his powers to make the lives of others a little better. Maybe he does not understand, but now he's a hero. I hope that he understands.

After this post he should know.

The child is fighting and trying to destroy the system.

The wanderer goes from the system to find yourself, but hero comes back inside and tries to make it better.

A story as old as the world. Nothing changes. I mean, everything changes. More precisely, we all.

And then the story begins again.
