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.

if i get to pick then so should somebody else, right? i mean,

some people are definitely going to be on team "f this place, the other one is better," and that's... shitty to hear if you're staying behind. but i don't think i could blame anyone for going.

maybe. don't think i'm trying to be mr. big noble self-sacrifice guy or anything. honestly, it kind of pisses me off.

there's just no arguing with some people once they make up their mind, you know?

yeah. it's just priorities, i guess. and circumstances.

most people never get to pick one or the other, so i think someone who could do that would think differently than everyone else.
