If you could do one thing to help the world what would it be?
Could be anything. But one catch is that you have to do something horrible to balance your actions.
Like Karmic Balance.
For every good action you have to do something equally abhorrent. Every life saved, one would be lost. An Eye for an Eye so to speak.
Would you help the world by becoming a monster?
Would you do something selfish for your own personal gain?
Would you avoid the option to help people to preserve your soul?
I've been pondering this. If I was to cure cancer, I would instead have to kill the equal number of people every year, and rob people of money for medical bills, make people sick and altogether ruin lives. And I would have to deal with the burden of doing all this till the day I die. Let's say there there is no way I could die unless by natural causes, would I be able to handle it. Could I be a saviour for some and the destruction for others. Would I be able to bear that weight? In all honesty I don't think I could.
So that being said, I could do something less grandiose and have less of a consequence. Let's say I were to save the life of a single family member. In turn, I would only have to kill someone of equal importance to me. Who would I kill? How could I possibly decide on the person?
Tell me how you would react in these situations. I'm a firm believer in karma and have been wondering about the consequences of greatness.
Maybe share you're own hypothetical and see if people could handle it.
