You, as the chosen one, will have to save the world from “the bad guys”. Would you succeed or fail? Or join the dark side? Would you try so hard that you become corrupted by evil?

My answer: I’d fail and the universe is fucked because I’m just a pile of sadness. 😓

    We are literally all the chosen one. The Matrix wasn’t there to teach us that Neo was The One. It was to teach us that anyone could be.

    The only way to see change in your world is to act on it. Maybe you can’t fix politics, but you can help loved ones. You can plant trees. You can donate your money or time.

    Even if there are others out there who have more resources to do more and aren’t doesn’t mean you can’t make yourself feel better by making the small contributions.

    And even if you tell yourself that you’re just doing those things to make yourself feel better and they don’t right away, the important thing is your action. That’s all anyone else can see.

    Save the world from what? Also, do I get any cool powers with that? I worry that it will be like “ONLY YOU CAN SAVE THE WORLD, but you’re still a normal average human, so good luck with that lmao.”

    If i get god like powers, yes I’ll fix shit. If I’m a standard person trying to save the world on my own, def not.

    I would be overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position. Such a heavy burden now to be the One. Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending, to write it down for all the world to see.

    But knowing me, I would forget my pen, shit the bed again.

    Typical.

    Who chose me? How do they support me? Who are the bad guys? Are they really the “bad” guys? Have I lived in this world my whole life or is this an isekai? Am I alone or in a party? Would I need to learn martial arts? Is there magic? How does it work and can I learn it? Do I receive a magic steed? I need more information.

    Oh hell no! I might begrudgingly take a stab at it, but I’d throw my hands up and say “fuck it!” within about 6 hours.

    With great responsibility (hopefully) comes great power, as my auntie Ben used to say. I’d rock it.
