I was more of a Superman and Batman fan. I never really got into Spiderman. But when the blockbuster Spiderman movie came out, a lot of people did get into Spiderman. And you know what? There have been a couple more of them since then. I'm still not very interested in this web-spinning, skyscraper-climbing, crime-fighting guy in the spider suit. But I am interested in something he said in the movie about him. Peter Parker is the bookish teenager who gets bitten by a radioactive spider one day and begins to discover that he has suddenly developed some amazing spiderish abilities. OK, I'm reporting this story; I didn't write it. It dawns on him that he can't just use these abilities for himself. He has to use them to make a difference. Here's what he says. I like this: "For me, living an ordinary life is no longer an option."
