If You Could Be Another Creature, What Would You Be?

We are just humans. If you could be another creature, what would you be? You can be anything you want to be such as an animal, a plant, an imaginary creature, or anything.When I was thinking of a discussion topic with a student, she said, "If you could be another creature, what would you be?" When I heard her question, I was so excited.

If I could be another creature, I want to be God because God is the greatest creature in the world. People say that God made this world, humans, and everything because he has huge power. Today we have a lot of problems such as nuclear weapons, depletion of the ozone layer, children's death from hunger, and illness. We can't count the amount of problems. If I could be God, I would try to solve every problem.

I asked some people what they would want to be. One RA answered, "I like to fly so I want to be an otter." An otter is a semi-aquatic fish-eating mammal of the weasel family, with an elongated body, dense fur, and webbed feet. Of course, this animal can't fly but she said, "Swimming is kind of like flying. They live in the ocean and they can swim so fast." Another RA said that she would be a panda because they're cute, don't move much, just eat bamboo grass, and make panda babies. However in the end, the RAs that I spoke to said they would choose to be humans. Because an otter or a panda does everything from instinct. A human can go driving, listening to music or anything. Hobbies or pastimes aren't necessary for living, but they make life more interesting.

It's exciting to imagine being another creature. Some people think this topic is so stupid, but I think it's good to think freely sometimes and listen to interesting ideas when we're tired about our life. I heard thinking interesting ideas is used for counseling and therapy for relaxing our brain when it's so tired. I agree: thinking about this topic relaxed me.
