I never ask the wrong question. Life is always on the up and up. The best opportunities always come my way. Everywhere I go the world continues on with a perfect harmonious rhythm. Every person I meet is great to know. There is never anything to disrupt or halt me in anything I do. Whenever I go shopping I always have more than enough money to purchase what I want or need. Whenever there is a need for something I always find a way to fulfill that need without any issues. The food I eat always tastes delicious. The sex I have is always so good that I fall into the deepest love there is. Each day is more memorable than the previous one. I never get into arguments. I always agree with everything other people say and they always agree with everything I say too because we all never say anything that isn't agreeable. Nothing can go wrong. Life only improves believe it or not, as perfect as it is.
Hmmm. The funny thing is, that doesn't sound all that great. Seriously. I don't mean I want a life that's continuously falling apart, or that I'd like to be destitute, and it would be nice if my body would stop aging and let do everything I could at twenty. But if I got everything I wanted all the time, I'd get bored and jaded. The track record of wealthy people who have or have had lives approaching what you imagine, tend to have been unhappy unless they had some all consuming and difficult interest. We have evolved to exist despite adversity and we don't do well without it.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
