This may be too much for a young kid. I can see it working on an older child if you tell the kid over and over and over and over again

I've never met anyone that was that miserable.....money does in fact buy happiness. I have been on both ends and I can say it is infinitely better to have more money than less

When I was around 11 my old man was still beating severely and often, and I'd begun to train myself physically to both endure the blows, and eventually prevail against him. After a few months of training I could clean and press overhead a less than impressive 40 pounds. I'd made a childhood commitment to Jesus but I'd never been counseled unto salvation, being too scared to raise my young hand when the guest evangelist gave his invitation to those who'd silently prayed the prayer in which he'd just led us. So, at night lying under the covers in bed, I'd pray to God to give me super strength, not to be a bully, but to help anyone who needed help, kinda like Spider-man I suppose. And I had some weightlifting numbers in mind as to how strong I'd like God to help me eventually lift. I've forgotten just about all of them, but the one that remains in my memory was a clean and press of 900 pounds. The heaviest any man has ever done in that lift is 550 pounds. I figured that'd make me stronger than anyone else, thereby enabling me to be powerful enough physically to defeat anyone evil who was hurting people. Remember I was only 11 at this time, OK. As the picture of myself being this superhumanly strong man who'd trained and trained to become that strong . . I didn't want God to just GIVE me that strength; I wanted to train to get it . . crystalised in my mind, I began to wonder how I'd go against The Incredible Hulk. I'd just started buying that comic and had maybe two issues of it that I just couldn't get enough of.
So I prayed to God to show me in a dream how I'd go against the Hulk. The dream didn't come, but the next issue of the Hulk did, in which, at the terrifying climax of the battle against The Mandarin, The Hulk lifted the Mandarin's castle, and made it collapse! Seeing that cured me of wanting to be a superhero.
But ironically enough, I did become far stronger than any other kid in high school, and most growm men as well, by lifting weights in a period in time . . the 1960s . . when almost no one else lifted weights. It seemed there was no shortage of things that people, even some adults, used to get me to do, knowing that I was freakily strong. Our Boys Brigade's trampoline got damaged one day somehow, with the frame becoming bent. I straightened it again with a guy sitting on each
end of it, and me with my shoulders under the bend itself, standing up with it like coming up from a Powerlifting Squat. At the funeral in 2020 of the mother of my closest friend during the 60s, they had finger food and such in the church hall after the funeral and I went in along with everoyne who'd attended. My old friend introduced me to his son and told him and others who were gathered in a group, about the time I'd lifted his car off him when the jack had collapsed, pinning him under it. I honestly didn't remember that incident at all, probably because he and I were always doing physical things every weekend as it was. He told everyone there that he'd gotten me started in weightlifting. He didn't, but I let it go without correcting him on that.

@EdmondDantes1844-i6q Says:
My take is slightly different. Tell that child that there is a greedy urge in all of us to want more, but that that is a distraction from what is more important: developing the talents that you do have. So then encourage that kid to read, to think, to learn math and science and philosophy and history, and most importantly to abandon mythology in all of ours forms. Religion polluted thinking and must be discouraged

Wow

just let them play superhero
@triplejudy Says:
I love how religion's attempt to worm their BS theology into the masses.
Religion is an immoral, divisive, hypocritical, delusion based on "zero" verifiable data or empirical, science based evidence of any supernatural event or "magical sky daddy" ripping off billions of tax free dollars from the gullible.
@Yashkingman Says:
Let me ask you samson had power to kill and he is a super human well jesus that if you believe you can move the mountains so are you saying that is also not superpower and in after life the body that humans gonna get is like super ability and I have this doubt how judas died twice in a total different way there is no history of the flood happened in last 6000 years that destroyed the whole world
@Yashkingman Says:
You said that genesis written in readers perspective right so that make the history of adam invalid because that also makes irrelevant because he is the first man but who is just 6000 years old if that isn't true doesn't that all the promise from god become invalid

When I was 18 I got a great job which was paying me alot of money so much I didn't have to worry about paying for anything. I lost who I was and lucky enough GOD took all of it way. Now, I can restart
@coolgoku810 Says:
Well if you want to call it a superpower we do have the ability to create living being like God except we have to have a union with another.
I think out of all the superpowers you can't beat creating life and we kinda overlook that

Back in the day, intact, Jesus-following families encouraged their children to look at Bible heroes who, unlike cinema and comicbook "superheroes", were REAL people whom God used and empowered to glorify Him. Real people who were not perfect, indestructible, or immortal...but God used anyhow.
@frankcardano4142 Says:
It would be great to hear the kid say,
“Mr Turek, you’ve got your game of make believe, please allow me to have mine”.
@peachdaisy3478 Says:
A bit extreme to a kid that's just playing superman like any normal child.

I get my super powers from my Father in Heaven. hallelujah!!

Tony Stark is a fabricated character. They wrote him that way. It doesn't mean he would be miserable in real life. Maybe you should have chosen Elon Musk for your example. Or Bill Gates. Or any billionaire in the limelight.

Sometimes we wish we have super powers so we could fulfill our selfish ambitions.
@DiscipleShaynePlaylist Says:
Thank you Doctor Frank. I dont think super powers are totally bad. Maybe Super powers is like another name for fruits of the Spirit. Like self control, and to love others try to even when your surrounded by so many people who are not very nice.
wish I was not a sinner or did things that offended God or others, that I could be clean and Holy and to have a real family with love and sisters and brothers. 😌
Love you too
Please Pray for me praying for you too.
Have an amazing day
Jesus is Alive!!!

How about if you do not know how to handle your own mortality? How about if you are taught all of your life ridiculous fairy tales that make as much sense as believing that volcanoes erupt when Zeus is angry? Any person that claims to know what happens to us after we die is either a fool or a liar! Which one do you identify as??
@WeakestYogurtEnjoyer Says:
That's a conversation to be had with like a 16 year old, of course a child wishes he had powers because he's a child.
@kiwisaram9373 Says:
Always thought it would be good to read minds and control others like the guy in Xmen, but can't we do such through a generous application of love and empathy? No one is happy with forcing or making people love and admire them against their will.

@follower2thelord43 Says:
True that. Admiring and desiring to be something you aren’t is rejecting God’s plan for you. It’s good to work hard and become your best self, but we must remain ourselves and follow the Lord’s ways as beings created in his image. God bless.
@Netsren Says:
After some thinking, who would want superpowers when you can have the Holy Spirit to fix your life and set you free ?
That’s the way I see it, but what else would anyone need ?
Yahushua couldn’t have sent anyone better than the Helper in His name.
