Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!
Is this from a different blog? Or perhaps a different site? Nope, we're drawing a parallel between our beloved Superman and even more beloved Now&Me.
What is all this love that we talk about? It's the commonalities that Now&Me shares with Superman, and then some.
Is Clark Kent Behind Now&Me?
We'd rather not comment. But we can understand why you might feel that way. For starters:
- Superman's Fortress of Solitude acts as a place of solace for him in times of loneliness and despair. Clark is the most human of us all.
That's exactly what Now&Me is-The Fortress of Solitude. Now&Me is a soft, warm, cosy nook during the harsh winter; a wholesome community to provide you solace when you need it most. You can talk about your problems here, and understanding community members will be there to hear you out. We all go through rough patches in our lives.
- His foster parents advised him to use his abilities for the benefit of humanity.
With all the time, resources and intention that we all possess we can choose whether we want to further humanity or aid its destruction. We can choose whether we spread love, positivity and extend a helping hand or do we choose to spew hate at whatever comes our way.
- Superman is brave and kind-hearted with a strong sense of justice, morality, and righteousness. He adheres to an unwavering moral code instilled in him by his adoptive parents.
Moral code is just like the community guidelines that Now&Me offers. It's all the rules we follow to be just, kind and considerate. It's an attempt to help, and not try to hurt the other person's feelings. Perhaps even unintentionally.
- To protect his privacy, Clark changes into a costume and uses the alias "Superman"
Here's where the resemblance becomes quite uncanny. Sometimes we want to help others out, or seek help, but not with our identity. And that's okay, we understand that.
TL;DR
Now&Me = Fortress of Solitude
Now&Me Community Members = Clark Kent/Superman (Depending upon their choice)
Now&Me Community Guidelines = Superman's Moral Code
How Does Now&Me Work Though?
You will need Now&Me if you have something to say, someone to help out or just need some solace during a hard time in your life (including a bad hair day). Depending upon these 3 cases, here is how you can use Now&Me:
