What If, Just For a Day, You Were Someone Else?

19 Aug

What if I were conceived just a few minutes, or even seconds later?  Would I have a totally different existence?  Would we be the same person in a different body?  Would I suddenly be a member of a different family?  Would I be living in a completely different place?  Maybe I’d be a millionaire?  Maybe I’d be poor?  Maybe I’d be exactly the same person in a different body, different place?  Maybe I’d be exactly the same person just born a few minutes later?

I like imagining what it would be like to be Bill Gates or Warren Buffett?  Having enough money for pretty much anything.  Or one of their kids?  What is it like growing up with tons of money.  Can I do/try anything that I “sort” of like?  Or how about President of the United States of America?  The ability to change the world with a single signature.  What does it feel like to have millions of people voting for ME.  Or how about Prince Charles?  Born into royalty and the REAL ability to try and be anything.  Or how about that homeless person in downtown?  Looking for the next meal, trying to make it through the day.  Or possibly just living life, without worries of money.  Or how about that genius kid graduating college at age 12?  Understanding complex theories and having a completely different perspective on life.  Or how about your neighbor down the street?  With a beautiful family, house, and what seems like a perfect life…  Or how about those crazy people you’d never agree with?  What in the world do they see?  How do they justify their views?

Just for a day, or even a few seconds, what would it be like to be someone else?  To see and think like them…

    Hmmm…great question. Perhaps that is part of the allure of blogs. You get to get a glimpse of someone else’s life…
