<Snipped quote by Legend>

I spend a lot of time around people who are just so gifted at so many things that I guess I just forgot that it’s okay to start from the bottom, in a sense.


It's easy to accidentally walk into a shadow that tall.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

... That’s a good point, actually.


Exactly. There's plenty of room to grow.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don’t even know what I’m good enough at to reach that point. Especially now.


You don't have to start off good at something.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

No... I don’t suppose I would.


Then I guess what's left is to decide what you want to be known for.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Wanting to be irreplaceable makes it sound more selfish than I think it is. I just want to be able to fill some sort of role that I know I can do Better than others, so I know I’m doing the best I can.


Do you think you'd make a greater world-class hero than anyone else?
<Snipped quote by Legend>

I just want to actually make a difference, instead of thinking I’m making a difference. And without hurting anyone else to do it. I don’t really care how big it is, but it’s hard for me to convince myself that I’m doing something worthwhile if the next guy or gal in line for the job can do the same thing.


I think I understand what you mean. I also think that even though it might feel good to be irreplaceable, it's also worse for everyone who needs you.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

... Maybe not.


I don't see what makes any given act of heroism "big enough."
<Snipped quote by Legend>

It’s not alike I could do anything anyone else couldn’t do. There’s so many people out there doing those kinds of things that I really just wouldn’t make a difference at all.


The people you help probably won't agree with that.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

What could I possibly even contribute to them?


That's up to you. You could volunteer, get a job, do all kinds of things for others.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Like how?


There are people who need help, even though their lives aren't in any danger. Or if they are, there's nobody to care.
