If I get everything I want instantly...where is the challenge and adventure? No working toward a goal? Are we speaking of dreamland? Are we really going to be transformed in a couple of years...from whining, irresponsible mortals into gods who get everything we want...instantly? Do we have to save the world, or not? If so, how long will this take? Are we all going to make it, or not? If not, what percentage of the human race won't make it? Are we so sure that we are going to make it? Are we ok with not everyone making it...as long as our friends, family, and we...make it? Do we tend to swing from religious pie in the sky to new age pie in the sky? Are all of these prophecies the opiate of the people...to keep us from facing responsibility? I'm simply hoping that we can escape extermination...and then gradually refine humanity into a utopia-like existence which retains all of the positives we currently enjoy...and eliminates most of the negatives which plague us...such as corruption, war, destitution, starvation, over-population, environmental-destruction, alien-rule, etc, etc. This is a beautiful world...and it's our home.
