The balance of life. We hear this phrase often. It basically implies that when something "good" happens, something "bad" must happen as well. When someone dies, someone else is born.
I like the thought of a balance in life on a personal level - no extremes. I like the thought of a balance of life even more on a life level - the world will stay balanced.
I have a question for you though - lets say you received a visit from a mystic angel. This angel tells you that the balance of life is a very real thing and that you have an option before you that you can take...or not. No obligation, life can remain as is for you or:
A. You can choose one individual in your life to receive the ultimate existence - basically, this person will live a life of complete bliss from this moment forth. In return, you will live a cold and lonely life. You will lose all your family and friends and have no one to comfort you.
OR
B. You can choose one individual in your life to receive the gift of a horrible existence - basically, this person will live a cold and lonely life. He/She will lose all family and friends and have no one to comfort them. In return, you will live the ultimate existence - a life of complete bliss.
There is no obligation to choose either of these. Likewise, if you believe in god or heaven, there is no repercussion in the after-life for choosing either. It's simply an option available to you since the world needs to be balanced.
What would you do?

I would sabotage the world balance and live as long as my life and the others would last without a balance...
I suppose at first I would be tempted to give the gift of bliss to a person that I loved and I would be obliged to live the cold life. However, I think ultimately I would choose C. none of the above and let the world work itself out...unless it means that the world is making Rocky 25, then I have to opt on whatever will end the madness...
No one would choose either A or B...because you're giving the option to not choose either. A better question...if you HAD to choose A or B, which one would you choose?
Ok smartass, so tell me...if you HAD to choose A or B which one?
