The plight of Superman

I always imagine Superman's biggest problem in life is who can he turn to when he needs help. Okay I know the advid comic book fan out there can probably name a dozen superheroes who could fulfill his needs but I was thinking more along the lines of if you're at the top of your game who do you turn to? I mean if you're the smartest person in the world who do you turn to when you're not smart enough? If you're the strongest person, who can help you when you're strength fails you?

I ask this because I think that people with exceptional attributes are automatically screwed. Yeah they're of use to other poeple but other people are of little if any use to them. In the end when there is no one for them to turn to what keeps them going? I would imagine people of exceptional attributes carry on because they have exceptional attributes and that in and of itself is their reason. Sort of an instinctual need to pit themselves and their capacities against the world and see what they can accomplish.

In a lot of ways I want to blame the people without the exceptional attributes for the plight of the exceptional but then I think, "Well they are unexceptional. You can't expect them to behave like they are exceptional. That's just stupid." But then I also want to say, "True enough but then why should we spawn exceptional people in the first place if it's only going to be wasted on those who can't rise to the occasion?"

Anyway just something I've been thinking about. I expect no comments on this one. If I truly believed that I would disable the kudos and comments but for better or worse with me "hope springs eternal" so I hold out for some feed back that I don't believe will come.
