If I was God, I think I would create people a certain way...

I think my creations would want lasting rewards for taking good care of themselves and being healthy.
So, I think I will make their bodies respond appropriately to the way they are treated.
But some people might not treat their bodies right, and with lasting rewards comes lasting consequences...

I think my creations would want to be able to pass on these achievements to their offspring.
So, I think I will have children obtain attributes from both parents, as a symbol of their partnership and unity, at the very least.
But some people might pass on bad things...

I think some of my creations would want to be able to help their children if they had a rough start, in case somebody made mistakes.
So, I think I will also have their body and character developed mostly while the parent is taking care of them.
But some people might make more mistakes during this important time...

I think my creations would want to be able to have a greater mental capacity than the animals around them.
So, I think I'll give them greater intelligence which will allow them to do things and make choices with varying degrees of instinct and sensibility.
But some who suffered mistakes might literally not know any better...

I think my creations would want to be able to tell when they need to act on something or make a change.
So, I think I'll give them emotions like anger, to tell them when they have experienced an injustice; and joy, to tell them that it's a time to be grateful and celebrate.
But some might bury and ignore the anger so that it surfaces at inappropriate and random times...

I think my creations would want to be able to express their experience in an articulate and poetic way.
So, I will grant them the capacity for great artistic ability, including speech.
But some might use the tongue to attack others and cause pain...

I think my creations would want to combine their physical need to reproduce with their spiritual need to give and receive love.
So I will create an optimal tree of relationships where this is possible.
But such a tree has potential for so many more sour experiences and many would learn to despise it...

Come to think of it, with all this set up in this way, there's massive potential for things to go wrong.
But where there's potential for something to go wrong, there's potential for something to change.
And where there's potential for something to change, there's potential for things to go right.
Right?



I hope my creations will recognise this...

I hope they don't see the gifts I gave them as curses or blemishes...



Or maybe... my creations would all want to be robots?

Just because that's how you are, doesn't mean that's who you are.
