Human feelings=Clarks weakness?

[jarethmc]

How can Jorel be so wrong and not know it?. He told Clark his human feelings is his one weakness. Its those very feelings and emotions and respect for humankind that make up the deepest
part of who he is and the hero he will become. That will and should be his greatest strength. Anyway thats my opinion on the matter, whats yours?

If I remember the context- Jor-El told him that, when Clark wanted to save Chloe. I think Jor-El wanted Clark to see the bigger picture. The two from Krypton were a bigger threat and in the long run Chloe's life isn't that important. Don't yell-- I don't agree with him.

It's both Superman's greatest strength, and his greatest weakness. I say SUperman, becuase it doesn't seem to be Smallville Clark's. He's still having to be pushed into thinking about using his powers to save people, and isn't really being iven a choice.

Superman's respect, and feelings about life, and how one life, and one hundred lives are equally valuable, is his greatest strength, but at the same time it's his greatest weakness. He can't stop everything, and he has, does, and will continue to waste time on futile efforts to save one person. There is no needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few for him. All life is equal and important. So if you present Clark with an ethical dillemma like, i cna kill Chloe, or i can kill all the people in metropolis, pick one, he simply caqn't choose. Where we, though feeling bad about it, could rationalize the sacrifice of chloe more than makes up for saving the millions of people in metropolis, Clark can't reason that out. He sees each act, as equally dispicable, and equally evil. He can't choose one over the other. And while this makes him the greatest hero, it also makes him seem super naive, and leads him to a lot of dilemma's, and situations that could have otherwise been easily avoidable.

Kryptonite might be his biggest weakness, but I feel his superior weakness comes from trying to save and find the best in people.

It has always landed him in trouble and notice when he can't do things right, he runs away or puts on a Red K.

Even though Clark has strong feelings for Chloe as in friendship, Jor-El wanted him to see the bigger problem, that Earth is his domain and his concern, not just one human.
