In the earliest of comics, Superman fought fairly ordinary crooks and thieves and other human dross, but where is the challenge in that?

He had to have foes that were possibly capable of defeating him in order to elevate his status. (Where is God without Satan?)

If we won all the time (define winning however you choose: mate/sex, material wealth, business and athletic competition, spiritual achievements, etc.) we would not be tempered by the forge of trials to become more than we were yesterday.

So while we may not be super men and women, when tested, we can become stronger and wiser. And if you invest in a kevlar vest, can stop some bullets.

You are a wise teacher and your compassion is like a speeding bullet.

I am more powerful than a Lionel toy train. And I can leap anthills in a single bound. :yesnod:

Betterment through adversity. Yes.

And if our negative experiences can prove so valuable, why do we seem to be obsessed with only maintaining experiences we deem positive, and categorising them as such?

Death anxiety! :smile: What doesn't kill us makes us stronger... it's just the part about being killed that poses a problem.
