What's next?
Make a better world, of course.
Josh did not like many things that were happening around him. Like any sane person he could see the discrepancies between what was declared and what was done.
Hypocritical politicians, greedy corporations, stupid laws, dangerous religions, asshole behavior.
All this was harmful to the society, to the advancements of human race.
Josh was a dreamer. His borderline obsesivness with minute detailes and his logical thinking never changed that fact. He dreamed about a better tommorow, a world where suffering was not a norm, but a tragedy.
Why were there so many wars? Why so many children were in orphanages? Why medicine did not advance at an exorbitant pace? Why so many monsters in the guise of humans were allowed to roam the streets?
All those questions, and many more, swirled in Joshes head at all times of the day.
Now he had a power to change all that.
However there was a problem. A philasophical one at that.
Did he have a right to do it? What type of world he should strive for?
A great mind once said - "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Josh thought about those words since the day he heard them. Sure thing, it was not an obsessive research, but he did look into them more throughly than most.
But, what if you take apart this phrase? What if you reverse engineer it?
Won't it mean that if power=corruption than corruption=power?
What would happen if everyone was corrupt? Everyone would have power?
So the following question will naturally arise.
Why.
Not.
Corrupt.
Everything?
