Speculations of "If"

I can fantasize that if I were born in the 60s, I would turn out to be a Trekkie aka Star Trek freak.

IF I were born during the age of antiquity, I would  want to be the disciples of Aristotle .

IF I were born during French renaissance, I would be a socialist-atheist.

IF I were born during the stone ages, I would die of hunger or killed by a beast.

IF I were born in Medieval Europe or Dark Ages, I strangely believe that I would go and live in a Christian monastery, faithful to Lord Jesus' ministry.

IF I were born during the ages of heathen, I would worship Hera instead of Zeus.

If I were living in the times of the patriarchs , I would be among those punished by Lord Yahweh aka El aka Allah and my tribes forever engraved in the holy books of religions.

IF I were living in the age of Martin Luther, I suppose I would go to the extreme and become Anabaptist.

IF I were a student at the medieval University of Paris, I would go the theology faculty and be a student for Saint Thomas Aquinas.

The problem is,

I am sad to say that if I were living during Prophet Muhammad's time, maybe I'll be the one who wage war on him, I would be the one who throw stone at him in Taif, I would be the one who claims that he is nobody but an insane poet, I would be the one whom name spoken in Qunut Nazilah, for right now, out of the fantasy and looking to the the reality , I feel like an enemy to God.

But life's is not about the if. The if is nothing but a portrayal of dissatisfaction of life. Egoism can be moral. And moral is fluid.

But reality is reality. And dream is dream. It is distinguishable, but can never be separated. For dream is a gateway to the scorching facts of reality, and reality is the gateway of deciphering the dream. All dwells around the souls of man.
