This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Assume some people were around you when you froze time. They saw you did something and then were the only one who could move.

Then they went through the absolute nightmare of being paralyzed and conscious for six months. And they know you've caused it.

I highly doubt the whole world concented to this.

Whatever else you did in frozen time barely changes a thing.

What if you spent your frozen time, determining the problems of everyone in the world, and solving them? So, when everybody got unfrozen, it was a utopia.

People may say "you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs", but would the eggs agree ? With hindsight you might become seen as a hero, but I doubt that would change the immediate hatred people would feel upon release from half a year of bondage within oneself.

Exactly. If someone mowed my lawn for me, that's cool. If they tied me to a chair so tight I couldn't move until they were done, not so cool.

One person's utopia is another's dystopia. There will always be people genuinely upset about what you did or what "utopia" you want to archive.
