What if you could control everything in your environment: the physical conditions, the condition of your body, and you could move forward and backward in time and space at will? What if you could manipulate the past, then move forward and see what happened an endless series of times, sort of like Apocalypse from the X-Men series, but with time control too? What if you forgot what the initial beginning point even was?
I had these powers in a dream last night.
And I was left to wonder several things. First, would we all necessarily be happier if evil were gone from the world? Does it perhaps not serve some useful purpose? Is it perhaps a base form of an energy without which life would have no savor and joy, and thus something which needs to be transmuted, not destroyed? I think this is the case.
And if you could have anything, might you not just find it easier and more interesting to see where the chips fall, and accept the outcome? This is perhaps a harder question to answer than you might suppose.
