You don't know how often I asked myself those very questions. I wasted so much time before I came up with the answer. Yes, there are millions out there, many more millions than I could ever hope to help. So I became obsessed with helping everyone. Oh, I did so happily, but something inside me was missing.

The man in me had a right to live. Well, once I made that decision something happened. I found a renewed vigor within me. I had Lois. I had happiness, and there I was with this renewed commitment to helping others, too. Because of the love Lois and I shared, I became an even better Superman than before.
