You may have heard of a little blog called "Hyperbole and a Half". It's entertaining, but it's full of life lessons as well. In Allie Brosche's post of Hyperbole and a Half: Menance they discuss power, and the feeling of power.
Brosche uses the dinosaur suit as a metaphor for power. Because the more they wore the suit as a kid, the more powerful they felt.
They became a menace to their parents.
Ultimately, the suit got taken away, and the power was all gone. What had happened?
The suit made them feel invincible, like the could do anything in the world. Such as colouring on the walls or throwing crayons in their kindergarten teachers eye.
Power is something that makes people feel more alive. And Brosche showed by using the suit as a metaphor.
This had an overall impact of extreme realism that everyone can relate too. Which allowed the viewer (while laughing) to make connections between the author's life and our their life. We're not all that much different.
What was the thing that made you feel like you were most powerful?
