I've an odd question to ask, if you'll indulge me.

Let us say a world exists where all work toward the betterment of their world, where none go without, and no one need be separated from their loved ones before they could bid farewell. Each day is peaceful and productive, and you know your place within it. You need not leave until you are ready, and only when you feel fulfilled.

Would you choose to live in this world or the one you came from? Why?

And to those who know why I ask this question, I pray you answer as well, and do so honestly. I promise 'tis in the spirit of keeping an open mind.

that kind of world sounds like it's too good to be true, honestly...

but i think if it did exist, and i knew i could choose to live there, i'd still have a hard time giving up on the place i'm from.

If peace was all that I knew, how could I crave anything less? Should I have had the opportunity to be born into such an Eden, I would think to always favor it, knowing I could leave whenever I wished. To feel content and never trapped?

At best, only a beautiful fantasy to carry the imagination. To happen upon such a realm now would spark suspicion from most, I would think.

[ To be fair, Daniel actually does find himself considering this for a moment. Something about it speaks to him.

But then his thoughts wander off, and they manage to hit a different thought entirely. ]


Sorry to say this, but it seems like a rather odd thing to think this deeply about. [ It sounds a little like philosophy, almost..

But that's not Daniel's full thought. No, that's-- ]

I do not think such a place would last in peace very long. People do terrible things to each other even when they live in unimaginable contentedness, even when they have everything they want and no reason whatsoever to lash out.

It is a very nice concept. I can't help but think it would be missing some of the variety of the human condition, though.
