So you guys with your ideal world all hate the world god has created or what?  Some of us could have done a better job. Check this Ideal World:  "Hello, People""Hi, who are you?""I'm the one who created this world, and all of you. You can call me 'God'.""Hi, God, what's up?""Nothing you need concern yourselves with, but I do have a little something for you.""A gift? From God? What it is?""It's called 'Common Sense', and I give it freely to all of you.""Oh cool! What does it do?""It helps you recognize when something you're about to do, or considering doing is dumb thing. See that fellow over there, the one with the big stick?""Yeah, what about him? He's looking for food.""Yes, but what he doesn't realize is he is about to strike a hornet's nest. Now watch what happens when his Common Sense kicks in.""Oh, wow, he didn't hit the hornet's nest with the stick.""Yes, because that would be, what?""A... dumb thing to do?""Very good. Now you all be sure to listen to your Common Sense, it will save you a few thousand years of strife.""Thanks God, that will come in handy. Oh, hey God, can I ask you a question?""Sure, though you just did, but that's ok. I'll even answer your next question, which will be: 'What should we do about you, God?' Well, the answer is simple - Use your Common Sense. If you want to worship me, that's fine. If you don't, that's fine too, after all I made you so you could think for yourselves, and as long as you're doing your own thinking, then I'm perfectly happy to sit back and watch.""Oh, ok, we can do that.""Oh, hey, God?""Yes?""Why did you create us anyways?""Well, the simple answer is, because I can, but beyond that, look around at this world where you live. It has everything you'll need to survive and grow, and develop into what I already know you can be. It's not quite perfect though - and it will need someone to look after it. Now what you don't yet realize is, this world is just one of many, and while I like to keep my planets all looking nice and operating efficiently, there is only one of me, and that's where you come in - you can take care of this planet where you live and enjoy it for, well, a very long time.""That doesn't sound too difficult.""It's not supposed to be, but every once in a while you little meaty things surprise even me. For example, this isn't the first planet in this solar system that I created life on, but...""But?""Well, I don't like to talk much about it. Let's just say they didn't respect what they had, and that made me feel like they didn't respect themselves, and by proxy, they didn't respect me.""What happened to them?""Let's just say, they're not around any more. They kept fighting among themselves, creating new rules for some of them, while those who made the rules felt they were above them, everybody was miserable, and then they started blaming me every time something went wrong with one of their brilliant ideas...".  At this point, God shook his head, and pressed his fingers aside his temples.  "God, is something wrong?""Not yet.""What do you mean, not yet?""I mean, not yet. But something will go wrong. Look, I can't explain everything to you. I mean, I could, but you wouldn't be any fun to watch. Do you see that animal over there?""The deer?""Sure, the deer, as you call it.""What about it, God?""Just watch it. Isn't it nice to see how it moves, how it picks choice bits to eat, and how it communicates with other deer in the area?""I suppose so.""Now you there, draw a picture of a deer.""Me? God, I'm sorry, but I'm not a very good artist.""That's ok, this is just an example anyways."So the primitive man took up stick and mud and ash and rock, and on the wall of the cave he drew a deer."Oh, you really aren't very good of an artist, but that's ok. Everyone else, look at this picture of a deer.""That's supposed to be a deer?""Oh, did I miss someone when I passed out Common Sense just a little bit ago?""Sorry, God.""You will be if you keep interrupting. Now tell me, would you rather watch this drawing of a deer, or the actual deer?""Well, the actual deer, it does things. This drawing, it's just - there.""Exactly, and that's why I can't explain everything to you, or you become just as much fun for me to watch as the drawing of the deer is for you.""Oooh, you are truly wise, God.""That's why I'm God. Anyways, like I said, make use of your Common Sense, take care of your planet, and I'll be checking in from time to time."
