SUPER HEROS

I have just been to watch Kick Ass, which is a whimsical action packed adventure of a want to be super hero, who ends up meeting up with a couple of people who are as close to the real deal as you can get. It sparks in you the desire to fantasize about being a super hero and having a vast selection of super powers to go off into the sunset and fight the bad guys. But here's the thing...technically, there aren't any bad guys. Every single one of them is on God's pay roll, so technically, I would be committing major sin. It rages a sturdy debate in some circles, that the "bad" are needed for one of two reasons....a/. to inflict a punishment on an offender from a previous life, and 2. to give the 'victim' a perspective of what it was like for their victims of the previous life. This being then a 'just' way for the perp to be able to gain a sense of compassion for the victims of the crimes they have committed. 3. To give a 'perceived victim' the tools to jump start a journey of development and strength which in turn will result in a major positive change to them and their future, and everything in it. But the issue with this, is that it requires an endless stream of bad guys to be coming in after the last lot in order to punish the previous crew. Not a very good long term plan for ascension.
The other contentious issue...is whether a victim has been punished enough and is in need of forgiveness during the time of their experiences. But then, I would say, no you guys up stairs would have figured out exactly how long it would take for someone like that to 'get" the lesson, and would have the exit package in place. So there is no argument what so ever for a saving god style vigilante. And if there was....wow, you would need to be like totally connected to know who was the next person to take down and who not to, cause the whole planet is riddled with badness. And it would mean you lead a life of constantly facing violence and bad guys. Even though you would also be saving the victim. But you wouldn't feel so good about that if you had visions of what they had done to their victims in their last life. So in spite of my previous fantasies, I think it is safe to say that ascending to a point of becoming a super hero in this life time on this plane is not the big picture plan.
