Plato...you dropped a bomb. Introducing "The What Would You Do" Thread.
 

This is so fantastically simple it deserves it's own thread.


What would I do if I were a hero?

The easy asnwer is to say that I'd be a hero, but that's a cop out. I suppose I'd feel an obligation to be community minded (more so than the average person), I'd feel the need to be philanthropic, to an almost obscene degree. As an occupation, being a hero would be enormously satisfying, though I suspect it would be less than rewarding financially.

Of course, all of the things one would do AS a hero, are likely the things that would MAKE them the hero. More of a causal relationship than a conscious choice to be a certain way.


What would I do if I were a villain?

Interesting, evil is as evil does...right? Self indulgence, amusement, actions filled with greed and malice and deception. I strikes me that the actions of the villain and the actions of the hero both come from the same place; they simply manifest differently. I almost fear to verbalise what my life would be like as a villain, for it might actually be better in the short run.


What would I do if I had no idea who or what I was?

Now that, my dear Plato, is a mouthful.

Yah, I've quite noticed he's got the loa geared up in his head.. and is re-structuring (which is what's needed for some allow) in imaginative playful way..

I'll have a play.. to the best of my fears.. ;)

What would you do if you were a hero?

I would travel the stars/realities and purposefully explore ideas of good and evil.. 3rd density stuff.. maybe 4th.. this is in a way my plan

What would you do if you were a villain?

I would pretty much do the same.. however examples won't be provided do to fear of being too open :)

What would you do if you were a person who doesn't know who or what they are?

♥♥♥♥♥, if I was that.. I'd be like some of the examples of people in this reality.. that's who I'd be.. I'd be running for city council or a prosecutor.. or a psychologist (those people always halve the self idea the most screwed up)

My ego loves this.

Villain:

I'd be the epitome of debauchery and revellry. I'd make a mockery of the world, and take pleasure in scamming the world. The bigger the prize the better the sport.

Hero:

I epitomise the message that anyone can be and do anything. I am honest, and loving... but I still can't get enough of my debauchery and revelry! I share my message with the world in the intention of liberating as many people as possible from their slumber.

Loser:

I spend my time in a state of futile uncertainty and apathy. I hold a mediocre job, I binge on alcohol at the weekend and feel miserable most of the time.

Interesting that you reduced the last question to "Loser", because in my mind, a person who hasn't yet found themselves, as so many haven't, isn't necesarily a loser, for they haven't yet even entered the game.

I identify the most with the third choice, as I'm sure a lot do, in that we aren't fully certain of who or what we are in relation to our lives and the people in them. Still, we do things, we make choices and move in directions based on some sense of identity.

Self is important to growth, for without self, there is nothing to grow; but self obsession is ultimately what stunts growth completely.
