The Cost of Being Able to Traverse Realities

[Matty1]

So there's this childhood wish I'm sure many people have or have had. Wouldn't it be great if you could traverse to ANY reality you want or experience anything you want (literally)?

Here's the problem with that: what would be the difference between the realities you traverse to and your home reality in that case? In other words, your home reality would feel just as illusory as all other realities. Which means the people in it would feel illusory and you'd take them completely for granted; so the biggest cost, in my opinion, would be sacrificing genuine relationships rooted in mutual understanding and love. I don't mean romantic relationships. I mean any relationship. Your parents, your cousins, brothers and sisters, friends, work colleagues, lovers, etc

 

Fortunately, God is smart enough to get the best of both worlds, which is where the imagination, literature, art, etc comes in. Notice that this mental distancing from what's happening in a book or a D&D roleplay or a movie is a GOOD thing. I might talk about this aspect specifically in a later post. But the point is that there's clear design constraints behind every creative decision of this reality. Don't just take these limitations for granted. These limitations, contrary to limiting possibility, add to it.
