So, I just finished rewatching the movie Sphere with Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone and Samuel L Jackson. If you haven't seen it basically the premise is they are on a submarine and encounter this Sphere that's kinda liquid metal looking and all three end up going into it. So then weird & horrible things start happening and they realize that the Sphere gives anyone who enters it the ability to manifest whatever they think about. These 3 characters ended up manifesting the most disturbing thoughts in their heads and all their fears. Ultimately they resurface and before they are out of decompression and questioned by the military they decide that humanity is not ready for this type of power, even though it's the most amazing gift, so they all agree to forget everything that happened. So I started thinking about what I would manifest. World peace, universal healthcare, no more starving and homeless people, no more abused kids and animals, my dad is dying from Hep C he got from a blood transfusion, so I would definitely manifest a cure for that and cancer, AIDS, etc. Then I started thinking about the wisdom of that idea - as horrible as these cures are, as horrible as watching him slowly and painfully die is, aren't these diseases necessary evils? Aren't they simply population control for humanity? The world is already overpopulated and swiftly running out of non-renewable resources and polluting and killing the earth, so if all these diseases were cured, starvation and war was ended, what would happen to us? With modern technology and medicinal breakthrus, people are already living longer than their natural lives, being brought back to life, and being saved from disastrous events. Disease, war and famine are humanity's natural predators, right? A built in population control.
So, my question to all you out there is if you were given the ability, what would you manifest and why? And ultimately, would your decision to manifest this be a sound one?
