Like many Baby Boomers, I grew up watching TV sitcoms during the 60's. A couple of my favorites were "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeanie".
It strikes me funny that both shows' lead characters had the ability to change their circumstances with the twitch of a nose or the nod of a head. These women had super-powers enabling them to magically "fix" whatever problems arose.
Imagine!
I suppose it's only human to want what we don't have: extra special abilities outside of our own natural instincts.
But what if we could "re-do", rewind, fix a mistake or otherwise change reality? No more guess work. No more ruminating on what the future holds. No more struggles or challenges. No more wanting or needing.
With the point of a finger or the touch of a hand, we'd have whatever we wanted.
But then (sigh!) that'd no longer be called Life as we know it. Instead, that'd be some strange, sci-fi, other-worldly existence where nothing is real.
If we got or took all that we wanted, there would be no more need to strive or achieve. No more dreams or goals.
What then? Imagine!
