What If I Have the Power Over All

Life is very simple actually. It's the people living it who complicates things.
But what if I could make these complications disappear at the snap of my fingers? People who came from parents or families who have a history of making bad moral choices. Or those who have been bigots all their lives and don’t even know about it?
But there’s really nothing wrong with that, right? It’s actually their right to decide for themselves. Until the pain of those choices start to roll over to those around them.
If I have the power over all, I would make all these people disappear, but not randomly like Thanos. I would weed out all those who make habitual immoral choices, who came from a culture of endless strife and war-mongering, and those who came from a society that upholds cowardice and conformity over truth and sound judgement.
But sadly, I am just one of those pencil-pusher, down-trodden typos who don’t have a penny to their name, and who wake up everyday just asking what the hell.
But then again, what if.

Life would be boring without complications, but I must agree on you. We make the simplest things a hard one. However, it is the sufferings that make us stronger, isn't it?

Life would be better without complications. I think people often mistake skills-training with deception, and character-building challenges with oppression. There is such a thing as normal and abnormal motivations.
It's the latter that make up the bulk of "complications" nowadays. The world would be cleaner and we would all be soaring if we didn't have to go through life trying to sort through the eternal muck mindless people create.

Agree with you, but what ever happens in your life don't give up.

I liked your post. It made me a feel a little sad and think over. We all would like to have such power to do away with the wrong and bad in our life. But unfortunately we can not! But we all have an inner strength that can make us look forward to good things in life and make good choices for self and others around us.

But even if you do have the power, you will tend to misjudge at some point and harm innocents..

@wingedtip You're very set in your theories and that could be dangerous, my friend..
Anyone can be a trash in anybody's eyes.. it's whether one is a better trash than another is the challenging part to figure out..

@ihasaquestion I don't think it's healthy to think of people as trash right away.

Great power comes great responsibility. That's why it has to be accurate, swift and clean to prevent collateral damage. Humans will always be imperfect. Sooner or later everyone gets affected by the trash other people bring to their own lives. But it's better to be committing mistakes while doing something than nothing and just watching from the sidelines. Unless of course, one is an eternal trash-generator then it's really time to stop.

I also wish I had such power but since we don't, we have to accept that this is how it is. People who complicate our lives will always be there. We have to never let their actions define who we are. People are bad because that is who they are, not because we deserve to be treated badly by them.

Very true. We the people make our life complicated. But only the life goes on simply with nothing exciting or complications, we will get bored easily. So GOD makes our life with the combination of both happiness and sadly moments. He is very intelligent.
