Question of the Moment
Often times I have heard people discuss the topic, “If you could have any super power, what would it be?” Well let’s narrow down this and say, if you could have to power of invisibility or the power of flight which would to prefer to have, and of course why would you choose that particular power over the other?
Did you already decide? Was it spur of the moment, or did you really think about the unique potential each one really offers?
The power of flight is something mythical in my opinion. It is something humans have always thought of doing, and it currently done with the aid of machinery. This type of power would almost be one to be flaunted, because people are going to see you zipping around the clouds, or wondering how you got somewhere with a fantastic “wind-blown” look. Would it be more for the extroverted personality, one who enjoys putting their skills on display, or is that something you would like to do?
Then there is the power of invisibility, opening many doors of possibility. You would be able to get away with many many things, and even have the potential of living a complete a life which isn’t dominated by a nine to five job because you could get anything you wanted without being noticed; if you wanted that is. You could see movies for free, spy on people, hop on a plane and zip off on some exotic vacation, find out what people are really saying behind alleged “closed doors”.
So for all the loyal and causal readers alike, take a moment to think about this and leave a comment which you would choose.
Personally, I like the power of flight over invisibility,

Actually, I wouldn’t choose either, but I’ll say why in a second. If I had to choose one or the other, I would have to go with invisibility because I like the idea of being everywhere yet nowhere. Flight really isn’t all that special anymore because it’s just a matter of time until there are PRPS (Personal Rocket Propulsion Systems) in use. I mean if I wanted to fly somewhere, I can hop on a plane and accomplish the same effect.
Invisibility lets you see the world through everyone else’s eyes. Plus, the everlasting pranks that could be pulled off would almost be worth it alone. But being invisible makes it difficult to lead a life of your own. Unless you wore something to cover your skin so that everyone without heat-sensitive eyes could see you.
That’s why I’d choose the power of mind control. Same effect as being invisible, but able to lead a normal life if you desire.
Since we’re limited to the flight or invisibility, I’d choose flight. Having the power of flight is like having no boundaries. You can go as high as you want, when ever you want, where ever you want. As mentioned earlier, flight has been mythical to humans as a whole.
Invisibility scares me actually. There is just some underline level of evil being invisible while “seeing the world.” I’d be completely freaked out if I found out that an invisible man/woman was watching me or around me. On the flip side, it’s not in my nature to be sneaky or creepy for that mater.
