The Clash - [London Calling]--- Let's say you are being groomed and prepped as God's protige. You will be the next Creator/Caretaker/Destoyer of the Universe. Or any combination of the above you wish. You'll be God. Damnit. Your general probablities for responses have been catalogued, because It's God. It knows what you'll most likely do, and what you'll do if you Don't do what you most likely do. It won't be surprised. And It didn't ask you, first. It simply hands you Creation, says "Here's how this shite works. See you. Or Not." (Claude Debussy - [Arabesque No. 1 In E Major]). What do you do?
Do you take the job, no questions, and do the best you can, in whatever way you see fit? You're God. You can do Anything, now. Do you refuse it, and walk away, telling It to find another pansy to take the fall? You have free will; you can Do Anything. Do you use it, like you would, any other tool, and further your Purpose and move on? Or do you sit there, and gibber to yourself, while It taps Its foot, impatiently, and then leaves?
What do you do? How would you respond? Or would you have to have it happen to you, before you could possibly know?
Simply a few questions, raised by conversations about that dream, and wondering, "What if God were to offer someone the universe?" So, there you have it.
{1.07am:You are a really impulsive person WOLVEN. You think that this part of your personality has an impact on your relationships. At work, we all need to be fairly discreet. But will you be able to control your temper at work today? There will be a lot of discussions concerning projects your company is working. Will you be able to control your emotions today?
Primus - [My Name Is Mud]--- Definately things to watch out for. I tend to take my Horror Scopes as Advice columns, these days. They're general enough to be worth it.
Later.}

I honestly think that the best course (read: "The one i'd do") is to take it, integrate it, and use it like i would, anything else. So, i guess i'd use it to distribute Ultimate Understanding, and Responsibility, bit by bit.

Or not. Then you are briefly entertained by carnage.
And you have no real life anymore, not really, because you're suddenly a queen ant and your sole purpose is to create, give birth. Even if you become a god of destruction, you are creating constantly. Even if your job is fun, there's always something lacking. You are risking eternal boredom - the hell of hells.
In a sense, you also lose your identity. Sure, you're the one and true god and there's no one out there quite like you. But... how rewarding is that, really? Power is seductive to many, but the weak-minded are the ones most apt to lose sight of the price one has to pay.
So...
Wanna be God? *offers mantle*
