Clark Kent:
Jor-El. Reading people's thoughts. You said my trails had begun. Is this one of them?

Jor-El:
I've planted within you the seeds for this trial, designed to self-manifest when most needed. An event must have happened to trigger it, some kind of error or mistake in judgment.

Clark Kent:
I don't understand. I saved everyone in that factory.

Jor-El:
Assumptions are flaws inherent in the human instincts you have adopted, but they are beneath you. What you have yet to nurture is your Kryptonian intuition.

Clark Kent:
You shouldn't underestimate humans.

Jor-El:
Neither should *you*. Being to discern why humans truly behave as they do will help you to better protect them. This ability is only temporary. You must learn to focus, Kal-El. Perception can be the difference between life and death.
