"Solving a problem for which you know there’s an answer is like climbing a mountain with a guide, along a trail someone else has laid. In mathematics, the truth is somewhere out there in a place no one knows, beyond all the beaten paths. And it’s not always at the top of the mountain. It might be in a crack on the smoothest cliff or somewhere deep in the valley." - Yōko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and the Professor

This song talks about superman's issues and difficulties. But is there really a problem? He seems to have it all.
Song 'Superman' by Five for Fighting:
I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naïve. I'm just out to find The better part of me.
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane, I'm more than some pretty face beside a train. It's not easy to be me.
I wish that I could cry, Fall upon my knees, Find a way to lie 'Bout a home I'll never see.
It may sound absurd but don't be naïve, Even heroes have the right to bleed. I may be disturbed but won’t you concede, Even heroes have the right to dream, And it's not easy to be me.

From the song 'On Bended Knee' by Boyz II Men:
