Comments on: In My Alternate Life… http://gatheringinlight.com/2006/09/05/in-my-alternate-life/ Current Blog Project: Six Months With a Quaker Preacher Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:08:14 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sam http://gatheringinlight.com/2006/09/05/in-my-alternate-life/comment-page-1/#comment-6406 Sam Sun, 10 Dec 2006 13:41:08 +0000 http://gatheringinlight.com/2006/09/05/in-my-alternate-life/#comment-6406 The way I see it, everyone has an alternate life playing out at the same time as the life they are in now. The alternate life is the result of one or many variables in one's lifetime being carried out differently, mostly without one even knowing about it. Whether or not we enjoy what we are doing in this life is irrelevant, you just have to keep on keepin' on with the life you've been given. I have an unnerving suspicion that I'd be a totally different person in my alternate life, more of an asshole really. I'd have family issues just like the ones I do in this life, and just like everyone else does. Things would be different, but more or less equal to what they are now. When I really think about it, I'd prefer my alternate life. But who is to say THIS life isn't your alternate one?
