But the facts are otherwise. A tailor, in a fit of excitement, may advertise his goods as “super trousers made by a super tailor” but' he never ventures to call himself a superman. The same is the case with other people and things made or achieved by them. They call their things super; they call their skill or achievements super, but they never claim that they themselves are supermen. <br />During the Middle Ages, tides were given to people, but now they are conferred upon man-made things. We feel less proud of ourselves and more of the things made by us. We do not say that such and such a poet is “Super-Shakespeare”, we only say that if Shakespeare or Leonardo da Vinci could see our aeroplanes how astonished they would be. <br />In the past, the people were proud of themselves. Had a prince of those days heard the word “super" he would certainly have got himself sculptured as a superman. Caesre Borgia tried to be one, though he had never heard the word. In our times, even the most powerful or the richest cannot call themselves supermen. Rockfeller was a super billionaire, but otherwise there was no difference between him and other well-dressed persons of his country. <br />We use the word “super" with things only to inflate our ego or deceive others, otherwise there is hardly any difference of quality in a thing called “super” and an ordinary thing. How can the things be super things, when there are no supermen to produce them?</span></p>
