I just had this thought. I'm so limited! And I hate that. What kind of fucked up person wants to be a god so bad? I can't stand being human. So constricted in every way. The world, built to contain me. Mortality, built to destroy me.
I understand that I can do things. I have power. I can make money. I can be happy. I can become a father. Whatever. Compared to other humans, I'm not powerless. I have just as much control over my life as any other person.
But it's not very god-like.
Just the fact that I have to eat seems like an unnecessary burden. Another built in limitation that I didn't choose to have. I have to breath. Not usually a problem, but sometimes it is. I have to pay taxes. Ect. All this shit. Being human sucks!
But then I wonder, what if I was just a ghost. I could just sit and think for all as long as I wanted to with absolutely no constrictions or obligations. How long before I got extremely bored? How long before that felt too limiting, too?
Would I eventually wish I could do something simple, like eat a stick of beef jerky? Would I want to be human again, so through all of my limitations, I could actually DO things?
Thoughts can think, but they flow like waters. No real challenge in that. To actually build a dam is a challenge. To bump into the unexpected. To achieve the impossible. To do the simple. Experience needs no preparation. It needs no forethought.
