Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis presents:

This week on our longrunning, ongoing “Walk the Talk Show” podcast and video series, with awards and millions of views over the years…

Waylon speaks about how Superman is an ideal Buddhist hero.

“Growing up, Superman was a hero of mine. Kind. Caring. He used his strength, his power, not for evil or hurt or selfishness but to protect those in need, children, the vulnerable. He wasn’t grim, like Batman.

He was, in Buddhist fashion, vulnerable himself (Kryptonite) and unafraid to smile, to romance, to fly high and celebrate this magical life and world from a lovely yet noble and appreciative, loving point of view.

I’m glad to see his example back. We need kindness as heroism, now.

The red undies, the smile are back. Cavill was great, but the movies were tryhard, grim, awful, loud. I wanted more Cavill as Superman, as Kent, and less CGI, less trying to be Batman, or dark. That’s not Superman.

He’s a dork, in the best way. He’s unafraid to be “cringe,” in the best way.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

“Superman, basically, is the spirit of America.”

~ Waylon H. Lewis

“We have a longing for goodness. We have a longing to serve others with a sense of cheerfulness, a sense of appreciative, strong, open vulnerable love, and loneliness. And in a world where there seems to be constant bad news, I’m relieved that there’s, at least, this one symbol.”

~ Waylon H. Lewis

Can’t watch the video? Why not listen?

“I find all of this incredibly timely. It’s one of the few things that seems to be going on that is not only timely, but is good news that is kind.

It’s reminding a whole new generation, and hopefully a whole new generation of children, that there’s things to do other than following some Google owned YouTube rabbit hole of fascism and hating on women, or whatever.

That we can actually aspire to be good, to be kind, to protect others, and to smile, to be cheerful.”

 ”What I am requesting is participation. Elephant has 13 million fans on social media and millions of readers, but we are only able to bring folks together around caring, fact-based conversation—people who disagree but can do so agreeably or respectfully—if you participate and right now independent media is getting killed by Facebook, et cetera.

They smother and suppress links. So when you go to elephantjournal.com, when you go to elephantjournal.com/best and get our free newsletter, when you go to elephantjournal.com/post and write something and share it—you keep independent media live, but more importantly, you keep respectful conversation, community, and caring facts alive.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis
