Oh Hero, there's all this pressure in your life pulling and pushing you in all kinds of directions. Bosses push you to be more ambitious. Hottie honeys push you to be more romantic. Teammates push you to play well with others and villains push you to . . .well. Really villains are pushing to drive you nuts and maybe kill you. The temptation to cave in to any of them is strong and angst-ridden but resisting, holding your ground, will help you grow. Others will seem to judge you and may of them will actually be judging you and a few of those will be running ranting editorials in their papers, and their attacks and scrutiny would wear on anyone. Try not to get too frustrated hero. They may stymie your progress, but small steps are better than none at all.
Villains:
You're under steady pressure to change, Villain. That's a given. Defense attorneys pressure you to admit guilt, and therapists pressure you to talk about your toilet training. Not to mention those pesky heroes pressuring you to give up easily. It's a bit stressful. It might even tire you out and make you want a vacation, to get away from the prying eyes and flashing fists. But that's the kind of opposition that helps a decent villain like you learn, and grow, and inspires you to greater heights of theft to pay for any vacation worth the taking. If those benighted fools frustrate you too much, there's always the deathray option. That tends to reduce the nuisance value though perhaps there are more enlightened approaches. Remember, those people might be useful some day. But if you can't resist then don't. The stars understand. Tolerance may be a leap of emotional maturity, but some villains need to take baby-steps.
