5 Alternate Realities You NEED to Consider (and 2 You Need to Ignore)

If you lived in an alternate universe, what would you like it to be like?

5 Alternate Realities You NEED to Consider (and 2 You Need to Ignore)
BBC

According to multiverse theory of physics, it is possible that many different universes exist outside of our own-- and this theory has been explored and debated more and more in recent decades. While the scientific theories are varied in the role of our reality and how other universes may represent it, the idea of alternate realities, though less scientific and more philosophical, is one well-worth thinking about. So let's think about it-- how different could your life be in an alternate reality?

1. Dinosaurs still roam the Earth.

You ride a very tame brontosaurus to work at your non-profit, HFDW (Humans for Dinosaur Welfare). The irony escapes you daily.

2. You are married to Willas Tyrell of Highgarden.

Your entire family perished in the War of the Five Kings, and you are the sole product of your family's line. You merge it with that of House Tyrell through your arranged marriage to Willas. You love your husband, eat peaches every day, and are happy. Except for the frequent warfare and sickness and terror and threat of never-ending winter. And everyone dying, like, all the time.

3. Everything is terrible.

Everything is bad, all the time, always. Meteors. Volcanoes. Overly-greasy chicken McNuggets. Everything is shit. Some of you may be in this one right now, frankly.

4. The world is fair.

Undeserving people don't hold overwhelming and disproportionate money and power. Everyone gets what their karma earns them in life. The world is still considered, by far, to be very unfair by the population.

5. We live on a 99.9% water planet.

Everyone swims and eats other things that swim or things that float. There are many merpeople. You do not recognize yourself as a non-human. Everyone pees in the ocean. No one cares.


BONUS:

Alternate Realities We Should STOP considering:

1. If the South won the American Civil War

2. If the Allies had lost WWII

And other such bullshit.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
