[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6857336, member: 82779"] Johnathan Kent never told him not to help people in MoS. What he does tell him is a lot more profound than either "don't help people" or "go help everyone." He tells his young son that he doesn't have the answers. What he tells Clark in that discussion amounts to this, "I want you to grow up to be a good man, but I love you as my own son, and I'm scared for you, and what people will think about you and try to do to you when they find out how different you really are." This is especially weighty given Clark's age at the time. Imagine what would happen if Clark's secret got out and the government came to claim him (recall that having contact with an alien life form is actually a federal crime that you can be imprisoned for in the U.S., and that he is illegally adopted, and an illegal alien, so there exists plenty of legal authority to rip that family apart). If child Clark, without the fully formed morals he would have as an adult, was faced with that situation he could very easily become a wildly destructive threat to others similar to the little girl in the film Firestarter (yes, I know it was a novel first, but I haven't read it yet).
