This came to me yesterday and it was so fascinating to me that I wanted to share it with everyone. At the very least, read it. I guarantee that just thinking about it for a minute will irrevocably change your life. If you have an answer, then by all means, place it in the comments section. And if this isn’t your cup of tea, then just hold on tight cause I have a funny story coming soon as well as a new (improved) Chris’s Playlist. Anyway, now that you are warned, on with the show…

Imagine for a moment that we have a universe. In this universe there are 2 people: Person A and Person B. They cannot affect each other in any way. One of them is smart and one of them is dumb though I will not say which is which. Also in this universe is a box. Inside this box there is an object that, if obtained, will cause omnipotence. That is to say that if one of these people in this universe were to open the box and get what was inside of it, they would become God (whatever that means to you). This is caveat: Neither one of them will ever be able to open the box. Even more so they both have absolutely no knowledge of what is in the box or what it means to them. Let me make it perfectly clear…

They will NEVER be able to open the box.
The will NEVER know what is in the box.
They will NEVER know that they will become God if they could open the box.

Person A’s mind is such that he will spend his entire life trying to figure out what is the box. He knows for a fact that he will never actually know what is in the box. For person A it is important to him that he try to find out and as such he will spend his lifetime trying to find out what is inside the box.

Person B’s mind is such that he has no interest in what is in the box. He will spend his entire life not caring about what is in the box. To him, it is entirely unimportant and unnecessary and as such will spend his entire life not wasting a single thought on what is in the box.

My question is this: since I already said one of them was smart and one of them was dumb then my challenge to you is to tell which one is which and why?

I have one side question for you to ponder as well.

Is one of them already God and if so, which one?
