If you could live in any fictional world, which would it be?
Hmmm, interesting question.
I'd probably say the one from the Good Place. By the end of the show, not the start. It's a show that's sort of like the antithesis of something like say, Rick & Morty. There's a guaranteed afterlife, with a heaven, and everyone has goodness inside of them somewhere, so the door to heaven is never closed to them.
It's really just a question of how long they have to spend in the afterlife being tested before they prove themselves worthy. Everyone has at least some kernel of goodness, so everyone eventually gets there. Even the demons are really just nice people down at their very core, they're just used to doing evil things because they never really questioned it before.
I dunno, something about the idea of a world all about finding the decency in everyone, and where everything ultimately leads down a path towards everyone just being decent to each other, sounds so refreshing these days. I wanna live in a world where we can all just treat each other with decency, kindness, and respect. And i want a system in place that pushes us to pursue the decency in our hearts, instead of lapsing deeper into division and cynicism.
Who knows, none of us have seen the afterlife, and just maybe, we're already living in that reality, we just haven't seen behind the curtain yet. I find that thought very comforting somehow.
