The Mild Mannered Janitor

If Superman was real how do you think he would have coped with that burden? If you are constantly leading your life with this alter ego, this double life, would that not of stressed him out? I sometimes feel that in my job and certain aspects of my life society forces me to be someone I’m not. I find myself nodding in agreement to subjects which I actually feel strongly against. Doing work that I don’t think will work or add any value to what’s already been created. Just like Superman does this mean I have an alter ego? When I enter the door at work, or join my colleagues in the pub after work do I become Rob the mild mannered janitor? I wonder what would happen if I did everything by instinct rather than giving myself time to analyse a situation and behave with what is perceived as the correct thing to do or say? More to the point what actually stops me from doing and saying what I really want? I think it’s something that’s embedded into your brain almost like a microchip. It’s the part that tells the difference between right and wrong and those without it are either truly free or criminally insane. I’d like to cut it out of my brain, just for a day and see what happens.
