I fear the prez isn't really calling the shots, but it'd certainly be an exciting dangerous challenge... I assume.

And you'd certainly shake things up.

Cripes, my last thread was shut down for dissing public figures.
Here I go again...
politics is taboo as well.

Let's keep it light.., silly & respectful....please. Just "for fun"

I'd be my mother's dog. Doesn't have to lift a finger, gets hand fed, whenever she cooks a meal he gets bits, he gets snuffles from the crisp tin, unconditionally loved, walked masses, life's a blast for the little mutt.

But no idea which person I might want to be. Not me, that's for sure.

A beautiful and amazing cellist. I can't think of any names. I'd like to play in the philharmonic.

Oh that's a thought - music. I would love to be able to sing beautifully without inhibition and also very very loudly. Classical music.

Yeah, but cat's don't have to do tricks, defend anyone,go hunting or even come when called.
Now that's the life....

but many dogs have it good too

I would just like to be a better version of myself. I have processed the idea of Reincarnation for a long, long time.

When I was young, I was a practicing Zen Buddhist and was excited by the idea of "becoming someone else". Now, I find the idea to be existentially disturbing, if not terrifying.

I don't want to be someone else or change my identity.

My current view, or rather hope, is in becoming a higher version of myself: processing and getting rid of negative aspects, building and developing newer and more positive aspects of Self, cultivating what good there is to me.

In other words, remaining myself but continually improving. That would be my "ideal-fantasy incarnation". What do you think?

Well I guess that's what we really do.
This idea was more about diversion, a vacation from ourself
