Superpower Redux
There is this show, it's called Lie to Me, and it's brilliant. And based on a real person. And he has the superpower I want.
He can read people's minds. Well, not really. He can read their faces, and that's almost as good.
The eyes are the window to the soul, and your face is apparently the window to your mind. Everything you think and feel is expressed in subtle motions of the facial muscles.
And if you have quick enough eyes to notice them and the knowledge to interpret them, you know what is going on inside that person.
The ability to know when someone is lying? When they're angry or sad or happy or satisfied, even if they deny it?
To know when to trust? When to defend?
To know what someone really thinks about you?
That's a power I would want.
That would be real power.

With power comes responsibility, and who wants responsibility?
yeah, sometimes you want to be lied to. The truth can hurt.
Ugh, ignorance is bliss. Unless you don't really care...but then why have the superpower?
trs: true ;)
e.; but most lies hurt worse than the truth, at least in the ultimate end.
sarabonne.: a leetle confused. can you explain your comment?
you really need a balance between truth and lies.
re. not caring, how people percieve or judge you.
Like if you could give a diddly squat that Mrs. Whatsit thinks you're too blond, you have no need for such a super power.
Sorry, I'm just musing aloud right now.
