Thread: Psychology Experiment #2

Being completely honest...I'd want to be granted unimaginable wealth.

This is quite interesting because I chose Socrates, Jesus, and Moses as my top three role models. These were men that sacrificed themselves for the greater good. Money and other vices had no bearing on their souls. I chose these men because I admire, respect, and somewhat envy their strength. The qualities that they possessed is something I'd like to strive for, but I know that I am too weak to achieve.

I wouldn't wish for anything. My life is as it should be. I'm a Christian (don't worry I don't preach or expect other to believe as I do) and I believe that I am where the lord means for me to be. Every event, regret, and joy has been meant to teach me something. Sometimes The lessons eludes me at the time, but eventually they come to light. I can honestly say I'm happy (most of the time). Would I like to be rich, I am, just not with money. I have what I need to live and I live well. Would I like to live forever, I will, just not the way most mean it (and hopefully not someplace to hot, alas I am not without sin). My life is what it is, and I thank the lord for the blessing of waking up each morning and for all that he has given me. End of sermon.

Carefull with that one. Read the Hitchikers guide to the Galaxy series? The man who knows the truth isn't the happiest one.

Man... doesn't this make me feel that my joke is shallow and out of place... Sorry to meddle in a serious discussion.

I'd wish to time travel, one way, back the late 1800's early 1900's and have enough money to live comfortably on a mountaintop somewhere.

Dude, don't feel bad. Most serious discussions can use a little lightening up.

I would wish to have gotten to know my grandfather before he died (he died when I was really young)...

I don't have a lot of time left. With what remains, I'd like the ability to "Time Travel." I would like to be able to be at any particular place and time, to observe. In some cases I would make ahem...'adjustments.'
I would LOVE to be in Dealy Plaza on November 22, 1963. I'd want to actually SEE who and what was on the 'grassy knoll,' behind the stockade fence. I'd be there early enough to pick my spot and get the view I wanted. If I had to, I'd go back again.
At other times, I'd make subtle changes. Such as, to be in the hall behind Lincoln's box at Ford's Theatre. When John Wilkes Booth arrived, he'd be greeted by a large man armed with a sawed-off 12 gauge double barrel. As "V" said, in V FOR VENDETTA, "Sometimes, violence can be useful."
Part of this power would be the ability to intantly return to the present.
It would be a VERY interesting way to spend my few remaining years.

Unashamedly stealing your idea jockeys I have started experiment number 3

I agree with a couple of others... I'd like to know everything. not future stuff, just know the secrets of the universe, the patterns of the stock market to a fault, the most obscure psychological facts and the like.
