Superheroes in real-time

Lately, I have been a civil servant much more often than I would normally. I feel kind of like a superhero in a way. I have things that everybody wants, and everybody wants me. It's quite self-centered, I know, but I can't help but think about all the good deeds I've done in the past four or five days. I have been lending my super vehicle out to everybody who wants it everyday this week, I have been lending my services out to various individuals, both in public and in secrecy, and I have been standing up for what is just and right in the world.
I feel like I've been very helpful to people and that makes me feel good about myself. My plans for this holiday season are to dish out my generosity both in actions and in gifts and to make people feel good. Some people do not enjoy the holidays, this can be due to past holiday experiences that were not enjoyable. But no matter how one spends the holidays, I will try to fulfill my superhero duties by giving others at least something to appreciate.
