If Given the Choice

If given the choice of one, and only one, super power, I would land on control of time. If you control time, then all else is variable. There's no sense in having the ability to fly, or be super strong, or highly intelligent. There's no sense in any other power as long as the option of time control is in play.

With that power, you will never involuntarily waste time again. I say involuntarily because everything involving time is involuntary. The mere existence of something that is considered to be a waste of time is only so because of the perpetual forward motion at all times. Every second that ticks by will never be seen again, so anything deemed unproductive is a supposed waste. If you can control time, then you have all the time in the world to do whatever you want. Time lost to sleep? Forget about it. Honestly, for me that would be the primary use of time control. Unless intentionally trying to cause a passing of time, I would never sleep in real-time again. I would freeze time, sleep as long as I want, then resume. I would sleep only between fractions of a second.

Regret would no longer exist, as hindsight is 20/20. I stand by that decision. No other power compares.

After all, this is a bullshit topic to bring up and discuss.

Time to go to sleep.
