Life
Life is a strange thing. It can be fantasized as anything but can only be one thing, the same thing for every person. We are born, we live a few years as children, and then we start school. For the next 12 years, at least, we do the exact same thing ever day. After that you get a job and a place to live and probably a family. Your go to work every day, get bored, and come home to continue to raise your children. In a matter of years they finish school and leave. You are left with your spouse for the rest of your life until you grow old and die. Life... in just a matter of years, is then over. Life as we know it is nothing but sadness and boredom. And what kind of system do we live by? We see movies, play games, view fantastic places that we long to live in but know that we never can. What if you had the power... to shape how life is done, to shape what kind of technology we had, to shape what our planet looked like! To be able to shape life itself to what we want it to be. To have the kind of biological technology as the Xen perhaps? To live in a world that looks like something right out of a game like Final Fantasy X. Even to make it so that every day is different! So that every day is not the same thing over and over!... to be living a lifestyle of variation. What if we could somehow live with our whole families yet still live in separate places. To be like they never left per say...no... human life is indeed a sad thing. And then... it?s over! It goes by so fast, if only we had the power!... to slow it down but not grow old and just wait for ourselves to die. Think about it, think about human life and the current state it is in. Imagine now if life was more like what books and games and movies portray the way life could be. What if magic existed? Once again, what if the entire system of life was changed to each of our own personal desires? I honestly cannot say that I am satisfied completely with the current state of life. These are the kind of thoughts that enter my mind almost every day and sometimes I will just sit there fantasizing my life as I would shape it and think, wow that would be incredible! Then I return to reality, depressed, realizing that my dreams can only be witnessed through my own dreams when I slumber or when I am staring out the window of my school bus every day getting ready for the same thing I did yesterday. I have had many dreams in my sleep where I lived in a world full of incredible mechanical technology and others where I lived during a time of magic and simplicity, only to be wakened a few hours later to return to life...
