One of the keys is, and it may sound funny, talking about characters with super powers, but one of the keys is to make your characters as realistic and believable as possible. Even if they have super powers, you say to yourself, "Well, if somebody had a super power like this, what would his life be like?

You know that you have fully experienced love when you turn into love - that is the spiritual goal of life.
[Y]ou have to stop loving and pursuing Christ in order to sin.

As long as you are running, you're safe.
For in a swift radiance of illumination he saw a glimpse of human struggle and valor. Of the endless fluid passage of the humanity through endless time.
