So yes, I had a marathon of "Heroes" this weekend (all 23 episodes of season 1 and skipped around in season 2). So season 1 sort of lived up to expectations, I would have to say that the people I relate to the most would be the Petrelli brothers. I relate to Nathan because at one point he is told that he acts like he doesn't care because he cares too much and I can relate to Peter because he's a nurse and also able to love unconditionally. Though that might be a too biased view of myself (wait, how can we have an unbiased view of ourselves?)
Anyhow, I think I'm being idealistic of wanting the world being a better place. Like the old vanguards of the heroes group (with Lindeman, Petrelli and Kaito etc) it all turns into personal gains later and the world goes kaboom unless you had the skills to go back in time. Distrubingly, I realized what Lindeman said was true about how people usually united in grief/mourning/shock after devastating/unexpected disasters (9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Sichuan earthquake etc). This tendency for cohesiveness through suffereing is a rather interesting phenomenon.
I am probably too idealistic with my socialistic leanings of wanting a greater authority taking care of the people, perhaps that's one I'm so spiritual, I really wish that there was a greater authority watching over us. I want there to be justice and love in the world. I really liked how Charles in heroes said that it had to be Peter because in the end, love is all that matters and I liked what Peter said about at the end of our lives we realize that it is how many people we've touched in our lives that makes our lives great. Thus, when I die I hope it is going to be a big funeral. (I'm being morbid). That seems like a good place to end this post as any although I'm not sure it really was about idealism.
