What If Humans Can Turn Invisible at Will?

To be invisible literally means that people can not see you. Are people invisible? Yes and No. Figuratively speaking, people can always choose when, where and how they would like to be seen and who would be able to see them. As Terence Stamp said, "As a boy I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure that I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed."


Kevin Bacon's Hollow Man, an eccentric scientist, discovered how to make animals invisible then, took on a mission to make these animals visible again. In his research, he experienced a lot of things which later turned him to a homicidal lunatic in the end.

Being invisible is achieving power. People have the power at their hands but most of the time when people are given great power, that power can also cause them their doom. It is therefore, a great responsibility which needs to be treated with utmost caution.

People can become crazy with the thought of being invisible especially when they have the power to use it anytime they want to and be visible again anytime they decide to. I asked my students what they will do if they have this power to be invisible at will. I got all sorts of answers but here are some of the things they will do because others won't be able to see them.




When I was young, I think of things impossible. I thought of becoming a superhero or anything. But one thing that I always wanted to be was to be invisible. If I would be invisible, I could help people who are being bullied by nasty persons. I know it is bad to hurt a person especially when he does not even see me but for the sake of trying to help and protect other people I would hurt these bad guys when necessary. Another thing that I would do is to use my invisibility to watch and protect my girlfriend, without her knowledge so she won't be conscious that someone is guarding her all the time. And lastly, I will use my invisibility to find out if people really appreciate and love me. As a human, being invisible is a great opportunity but still, being invisible is still impossible.

What if I could turn invisible at will? There are several things that I can do if I have the power to be invisible. First, I can do almost all things I can't do when I'm visible. I can practice walking like a supermodel on the school's corridor even if there are many students standing by, after all they can't see me. I can even do multiple catwalks at a time. Second, I can go to places I've never been to. I can secretly hop to a PUV or SUV to take me to those places. Of course, it's bad and prohibited but it's one of the crazy things I will do when I am invisible. Lastly, I can be closer to the people dear to me. I can give them something and they'd be wondering who did it. I can do good deeds secretly because I believe when you do good, you really need not be known or famous for all the good things you've done. Being invisible at your own will will be a very great blessing. It's actually how you handle it. (Maie Christine Dellona, 10 March 2008)

There are many effects of turning invisible at will. First of all, you can enter any place or room without permission and do what you want to do. You can fool your friends, or punch an enemy, and even escape the consequences of those actions. Or you can be like the superheroes who help others who are in need. However, if you have this kind of power, you can be tempted to the things in the world. For example, you can steal anything that you want to have- gadgets, appliances, automobiles, and even money. It is really up to you to be good or bad, but for every decision you make, you must be responsible for whatever happens. (Edward Narciso, 6 March 2008)

When I was only six years old, I used to think, "What if I could turn invisible?" I can be Superman but not like him with super powers. My advantage is that I cannot be seen by naked eyes. I would be a hero fighting against crimes, helping others and being famous. I can do anything with this power. I could be their hero, a wise hero. I don't even need to wear tight outfits, nice and clean hairstyle, and a long silk cape. I may not be so strong but I can be a dominating hero for my people. I may not call myself as "super" like superman but I can call myself as "Invisible Me," fighting crimes 24/7. (Christian Perry Nicodemus)

What if a power will be given to you, the power of invisibility? What will you do? Accept it? Or reject it? If I am that one, I will surely accept it! Imagine, I can go to places without being seen. I can watch movies without buying tickets. I could sneak to someone's kitchen or maybe to an expensive restaurant to eat without them seeing me. I can rob a bank without the guards catching me. I can go to bars restricted to teenagers and I can drink all their beers and do naughty things without paying for all of those things. I can go to my professor's house and get his/her test questionnaires and then distribute it to my classmates. Granting the power of invisibility, man can manipulate things and do nothing but destroy others' lives and careers. Surely man will use this for his sake and many bad things will be done aside from what I would have done if I were invisible. God is really so good that He had not permitted this kind of power to be possessed by mankind. (Albert Bation, 12 March 2007)
