Bruce is definitely saying what Clark needs to hear right now, forcing him to confront things about himself that he might otherwise run from. It isn't scoring him any points with Clark at the moment though! Lois is by far more of the "village" right now. Loving her is forcing Clark to strive to be his best self. And perhaps that might be enough to let Clark's soul be reborn. *Maybe*

Thanks for reading!
