Imagine, again, that you have in your possession a magical box that can only be opened with it's magical key, and let's also say that the only person who can use this key is you.
If you choose to open the box the world as we know it would become a paradise of sorts, devoid of any suffering, sickness, etc. Yet, this paradise for everyone else would come at your own expense as you would instantly become semi-immortal and have to suffer every affliction, wound, sickness, etc., that existed in the moment in time that you opened the box in, and you would have to suffer over the course of the next thousand years, after which you would also be allowed to live in paradise.
If you don't open the box, nothing happens.
Choose.
