We Live in a World of Extreme Cynicism
Watching someone's journey towards caring deeply about something can be fascinating. The fear of expressing what one cares about may stem from the lack of stability and approval that comes with belief in God. Without that stable framework, people become overly concerned about the opinions of others. In today's social media-driven world, where critiques are abundant, it's difficult to handle the heightened level of criticism. Additionally, the decline of real-life heroes has led to the rise of polarizing figures like Elon Musk. As a result, fictional superheroes have become the new role models.
