If you held the whole of creation in your hand, what would you change?
I considered saving a life, but who would I save. Who would I choose, why is one person better that another. There are a few I could remove when they were only a single cell in their mothers body, but how do I know what evil would replace them. I did consider changing my partners personality just a bit, but I have never liked those who seek to control and manipulate, even if it has sometimes been part of my job.
There is one person who I turned down, and now wish I never, but it would be a shame to throw a unique power on a shag.
In the end I want to give myself a chance to take more time to compose a message. After I sent it the lady disappeared from the site. I just saw a picture and let myself get carried away. I do not know if it was that message, but it was only yesterday and I would hate to think I made her think twice.
It is not a big thing to change, but it could mean alot to someone.
Perhaps her subscription just ran out?

Sounds like someone is thinking too much.
Do you really think your one message made her change her mind? What about the others she must of recieved?
Reading your message as I did, I felt maybe you feel alittle too self important. You feel that if you went back and changed you message you would of made a difference ...

On the other hand may be I should not have started this thread?
Its a good thread T Mann. Its a tough question to answer....and I think thats because if you are given such a wide choice of things in any situation...having too much to choose from is extremely difficult, and indeed could end up with no choice being made at all.
Sometimes you would think choices about the most mundane things would be really easy - much easier than your original question, but not always so......Years ago when hub was in his late teens, he had a massive family row and decided to change his surname. He had carte blanche of any surname at all....and it was so difficult to choose one...too many choices mad him giddy LOL and it took him around a week to decided on the one he has now.
one of our sons has a condition, of which one of the traits is being unable to make choices easily. For instance if you give him a menu he will be completely flummoxed by the array of stuff to choose from, and more often than not will end up saying, 'oh im not hungry , i dont want anything' just because he cant make the choice of what to have.
Choosing what you would do if you had the power of all creation in your hand would be an incredibly difficult thing....not just a few things to choose from but quite possibly and infintessimal list of things.....each of which would have their own fors and against as you so rightly point out.
Me....Id only want to change one thing, and thats for my dad to still be alive so he could have experienced the joys of 13 grandkids, instead of having just a year with his first. That would make me a happy and contened woman indeed!
I'm liking the thread too
If I could change one thing then I would be selfish and make it all about me. I would be very rich. I know it's shallow but its the truth. All I can see happening with being really wealthy is it improving my life and the lives of those I love and choose around me.
Being less selfish I guess having omnipotent power for that one moment/decision I should go for universal peace or some such worthy cause but i'm afraid that i'm probably, not capable of caring on that scale so it would be me i'm afraid.
It would be a black d indeed lost.....or should we read more into the id...I'm sure Freud is champing at the posthumous bit
