Why Change A Perfect Life ???

I have had a happy life. The best I can imagine. My parents are highly educated. I have an amazing younger sibling who I understand and in turn understands me. I have a beautiful niece of 6 years who is the most beautiful and smartest person (for her age) I know. She is my most important person and I would be broken in the case that something should ever happen to her.
I am 30 years old and have graduated with a PhD from Tokyo University, one of the best Universities in the world. I work as a researcher in IBM and get paid really well, enough to have had the opportunity to take my family for a world trip last year. I have a few good friends who I can always rely on and who rely on me. I am also a respected member of society, given my education, and my opinions on important societal matters are taken seriously.
I have a perfect life... as perfect as can be..... CAN BE.......

I desire more.....

I once watched an anime called BLEACH in which the villain, named AIZEN, said: "Intelligent and Powerful people like us should not merely wonder how the world is but how the world should be."
I agree with Aizen because, like him, I have a GOD COMPLEX. But I lack 2 things: Lack of World Knowledge and Time.
Even if I knew everything about everything it would still not be enough because the world is moving too fast to be controlled.
If only I knew what I know now 25 years ago.....
I wonder what I could do, 25 years ago, with a laptop filled with all the information (scientific and worldly) available today!

Too bad I will never know.
I am sleepy now..... tomorrow is another day!

Ad Infinitum

It is very easy to refute things we can't or have never seen before. The concept of "Pics or it didn't happen" is very much the norm these days and it is difficult to gain trust based on word of mouth alone. As such it is very easy for people to remain ignorant of things they are not directly affected by. For example, people ignore subjects like history, but if anyone has read about the "Butterfly Effect" or "Chaos Theory" then they would realize that our very existence is based on past decisions and events. The further back in time an event occurs the larger the impact it has on our present. Every decision we make, creates a fork leading to a new reality with events that are either common with or totally different from another reality. In other words, for every possible decision or event there is a different reality or universe. This is the concept of Ad Infinitum. Since everything that can be done has been done in some universe or the other, whatever you do in your universe becomes irrelevant. Meaningless!
Existence is meaningless!
Should that stop you from wanting to live ?
Should you just give up ?
Nah!
Now that I know this, I am free of my bonds.... I can do whatever it is that I desire. I can shape the world in my image simply because "Nothing is Real! Everything is Permitted!". This idiom fits well with my God Complex.
But I cannot change the world as I am because, I have no means of obtaining an overwhelming advantage over everyone else.
If only I knew future outcomes.... If only I could use what I already know to the fullest effect..... If only I could go...... BACK!


Note: I am planning to write a small series in which I somehow awaken in the body of my 2 year old self and, armed with the knowledge of things to come in the future, attempt to change the world .
