If you were all seeing, all knowing and all powerful.....?

Question

for one day and you could change nothing about yourself but anything about the life of the person who lives next door, what would you change?

Answer 1

if i was all knowing, i wouldn't really care... i wouldn't have anything to live for, my fire of greed for answers would become a black hole with no reason to exist... i wouldn't care

Answer 2

I would do things for the widow next door that would alleviate the worries that she has, leaving her free to enjoy life to the full. It would involve a certain amount of money so her house was free and clear, and all the bits that needed fixing were fixed. But she loves where she lives, so I wouldn't try to get her a different house.

And I would give her enough confidence and self-belief in herself, that even in her late 60s, that she could find a partner, if she so chose, that would share her sense of fun and adventure, and give her loving companionship for the rest of her days. And I would ensure she had the best possible health to enjoy whatever she chose to do.

Answer 3

That which you are, your true self, you love it, and whatever you do, you do for your own happiness. To find it, to know it, to cherish it is your basic urge. Be true to your own self, love your self absolutely. Do not pretend that you love others as yourself. Unless you have realized them as one with yourself, you cannot love them. Don't pretend to be what you are not, don't refuse to be what you are. Your love of others is the result of self-knowledge, not its cause. Without self-realization, no virtue is genuine. When you know beyond all doubting that the same life flows through all that is and you are that life, you will love all naturally and spontaneously. When you realize the depth and fullness of your love of yourself, you know that every living being and the entire universe are included in your affection. But when you look at anything as separate from you, you cannot love it for you are afraid of it. Alienation causes fear, and fear deepens alienation. It is a vicious circle. Only self-realization can break it.

Answer 4

I would inspire them to make changes within their lives for the better. By the way, your premise is flawed in the following regard: if I was truly omnipotent, ominscient, and omnipresent there would be no limitations upon my ability to effect whatever changes I desired, for myself or otherwise.

Answer 5

I'd give him his wife and baby back. And I'd give him a lawn that doesn't grow because I know he can't stand to mow.

Answer 6

I would make him a "cat person" instead of a "dog person". His stupid dogs are driving me crazy with their non-stop barking.
