Superman's Address to the Students of the World

Rate: 21 Flag

 

kal-el_111237048489

I am full of admiration for all you young people.


 

First of all, I want to thank G for his generosity in allowing me to use his blog site for this address.

 

I wanted to start by adressing something that has troubled me for many years. This applies to you younger students in the lower grades:

 

You   cannot    fly!

You're just going to have to accept that fact. It's like understanding the law of gravity. You don't expect Grandma to suddenly take off out of her rocking chair do you? She would knock her head on the ceiling. Not having the ability to fly is in your nature, and nature would never hurt Grandma...

It is imposssible for you kids to fly unassisted as I do. Please stop jumping off of buildings, porches, out of windows and off of your moving bicycles...

This worries your parents too much, and It worries me...

 


 

Now, here are the two most important things I want you to practice:

1.  Be kind to all living things.

2.  Tell the truth...

In other words, treat everyone, regardless of their ideas, in the way you want to be treated, and when you practice these things, you will have the wisdom to see when other individuals are not really  kind, and when they are not really telling the truth.

Strive to live in peace with all things.

 

 

Mohandas Gandhi once said: "Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well."

 


 

Well, that covers a great deal, so do good for yourself and others in the world...

May your days burst with radiant Sun, and may your nights be filled with Stars.

 

 


 

 

Note:  Many people do not know my body does contain a large amount of Human DNA...also... I intend to talk to President Obama about the importance of brevity.

Do you think it is right to use this space to have an illegal alien address our school children? What would Glenn Beck think?

as always, highly rated!
You just don't tug on Superman's cape!
Excellent! BTW, Superman's address is at my house!

MAWB aka Lois
Perhaps you could speak to the president about brevity?
If Superman isn't too busy saving the world, I'd like him to fly on over and give this address at our school first thing in the morning.
Excellent! Just EXCELLENT!
"when you practice these things, you will have the wisdom to see when other individuals are really not kind, and when they are not really telling the truth."

Well said...all of it.
Superman never came to my school, but we did get to meet the great, G. Gordon Liddy on career day.
I've had it with all this alien indoctrination

Superman is not one of us
Thank you, Mr Superman, sir. I kind of figured out the flying part by myself but I got the stitches out last week and I've got a cool scar. That Truth and Kindness part is going to be hard but I'll try.
You are the man of sage advice and Kryptonite can't touch that.
I had a dream the other night where Superman was sitting on my dining room table. Maybe I saw this post coming.

(thumbified for Kryptonic wisdom)
All of you are so funny and charming...thanks for the comments.
I am teaching at the moment (well, momentarily) and i will catch up later with all of you!
Ahhh I needed that. Both the speech and the chuckle ;-)
Yes, Gary to all of it, but one thing. I can't fly? dang. xox
Thanks again everyone....Jeeez my arms are tired...he's right!
I can just imagine how I would have heard this as a kid, once I got past the fact that SUPERMAN was talking to us: "Um, Mr. Superman, Mr. Superman? You said that, um, nature would never hurt, um, Grandma? But what about bees? And, and, and lions? A lion would EAT Grandma . . . "

'Ya know. 'Cuz that's the kind of kid I was.

Love this, especially the fine print.
"You cannot fly!"

Femme, Amen is a pretty good comment anytime…Tim4, I think he was legalized in the 40’s, I will ask him.

Hello Chuck, he has had to launder that cape so many times. He gets pissed not by the disrespect, but by the cleaning bill!

Odetteroulett, I always find a measure of perfection in your comments…thanks!

MAWB, he must have talked to you about the studio and Rupie!

High Lonesome, he said as much (see note in the blog)

Mamoore, I understand he is headed there right now. He just needs someone’s couch tonight.

Fabflamingo, Thank you for the comment and the energy!

JK , I am always very taken with your comments, Thanks.
Little, G Gordon Liddy would make a good Lex Luthor!

Also, OK?........

Roy, hello! He really is no longer a full fledged alien.

Life, It gets easier with practice…

Stacey, I wish he would stop time and make it possible to reverse some things.
He knows the magnitude of consequences if he were able to change history…

Jodi, I am always thrilled to see you come by! I’d like to hear more about the dream.


Kellylark!!!! He was delighted to read your comment…..me too!

Robin, we can fly in our Atma Sarup (light body, in sleep) I asked Kal-El about the Atma Sarup and he flushed red and refused to talk about it. I assume he is able to manifest that part of his astral body in the physical realm……curious.
Hello Owl! Those are great questions, just as viable coming from an adult.
And I can’t say that Nature’s intention towards Grandma is truly pure. Being attacked by bees could be from bad Karma….perhaps as a result of the time she withheld fresh oven baked cookies from Grandpa’s fishing buddies, who just happened by one Sunday afternoon to play poker in the woodshed.

Steve! Thanks for the reminder…we can fly with very simple technology!
