Let’s say you got the chance to go to another universe where everything is perfect—you’re rich, you have an amazing Job and a beautiful house and car, a loving family and partner, and every loved one even the ones who died in your original universe still exists there – I mean they aren’t the people who you spend your whole life with but it’s still them in a way
But you can’t say goodbye to the people here—you’d simply disappear, leaving everything behind.
You would still have the people you know and You’d live a perfect life, but at the cost of your current one
Would you do it? If yes, why? And if not, then why not?

No, i couldn’t live with myself knowing I left those I loved here.
No, knowing that I chose to be selfish and leave behind a beautiful daughter and a family that depends on me to help them through a tough time, when they themselves supported me. I’d fucking hate myself.
Yes. My life sucks.
No. The stress and the hardship is what makes life worth living. If everything was set on easy and you just coast through life what’s the point? It is hard but the most memorable storms are the ones you fought through and made it to the other side.
Absolutely. I would go to a different world even if it was extremely flawed, so long as it’s different than this one. I’ve pretty much seen/experienced everything i want to in this world, so I would love a new world explore.
Sometimes I do wish I could start over, but I wouldn’t want a perfect life. Just an opportunity to do things differently than what I did before.
Still, I’d say no. Wouldn’t want to invalidate all the progress I’ve made in this life so far.
Does everything being perfect mean my health would be better in the new world, and easier to maintain? If so yeah i think I would do it. But if not, maybe not.
No. I could not leave my family.
No way. I would never abandon my people.
I wish, aging parent.. sibling
Hmm….yeah I would.
There are still a couple of people who i would really miss and they wouid miss me, namely my mother. But generally speaking, most people wouldn’t give a fuck if I was out of their lives.
I think i could get over it in time.
No…this is the life I was given, and it was given to me for a reason. I have struggles, I have had losses. I will live this life until I have fulfilled my need here and that it is time to move on to the next.
Never
Nah. Moving cities or to somewhere else in the country is tempting. But another universe is a little TOO far for me lol.
I would never leave my kids or my husband.
Yeah, because I believe all time and space is relative and that if I got to be in the “perfect” version of the universe from my perspective, why wouldn’t I?
Yes.
Yes without a second thought, it would be at least 2 months before anyone even noticed
Nope. My daughter is my daughter. Accept no substitutes.
Yes obviously
100% yes.
Yes. My life has always been unkind. I’d be happy to bid this life adieu.
There’s nothing good to leave behind. Anything better would be worth it. There’s no one in my life that would miss me.
Absolutely no…,Perfect can’t buy happiness and being responsible.
No. I already have most of that in this universe.
Philosophically it would make no sense. If everyone was there, it would feel like a dystopian facade. All that I am and how my relationships are currently with people, is due to all the things that have happened, good and bad. If suddenly everything was perfect, it would feel wrong and frankly those people by default would never be able to be my people… Because what even are we without our experiences.
Atop the fact that I’d have left the people here, knowing that my whole “new” life. That’s not some gentle psychological guilt, that would be some deeply troubling shit to remember everyday, as I superficially interact with their surreal, perfectly perfect clones.
Yeah I would.
No. And I’m broke.
No
Have you read Tunnel in the Sky?
Yes
Nope. I’d be able to cast about 99.9% of the people in my life aside but leaving my wife behind, with no explanation, hells to the naw. Let me bring her, I won’t even pack my bags, I’d be gone so quick.
I actually kind of did that.
Yeah. They’re better off without me.
There is no such thing as perfect. Everyone’s definition is different. Without our struggles, good will be the norm and we will never truly appreciate what we have. We won’t know the satisfaction of working to accomplish something. And material things aren’t that important.
I have a great relationship with my family. A great husband who treats me better than I could have wished for. And if it means no Torgal in my life, then it can’t be perfect. She is my animal soulmate.
Yes, not having my physical and mental health problems would be wonderful. But at the same time, those make me who I am. Overcoming what they through at me make me a strong, confident person. Would surfing be as sweet if I didn’t have to bust butt in physical therapy to be able to even try? Doubt it. Would I appreciate the small things if I didn’t almost die from an early heart attack? Not nearly as much.
My life isn’t perfect. But it’s perfect for me.
When can I leave…
It’s not a better life if my family isn’t with me. I love my family.
But if my family were awful, terrible people, I would leave.
Without skipping a beat- yes.
I have a cat. I couldn’t leave him behind, as the lingering guilt, shame and heartache would outweigh any positive.
When do i leave
Nope, very happy here. Love my husband, kids, grand kiddo, home, hobbies etc. I made a vow and I’m keeping it til death do us part. I love our history, memories and time together.
