Another TG wish moral dilemma

Okay, same thing. You wake up realizing that reality is run by Kosuku Fujishima's AMG rules.
Kami-sama grants you whatever TG/TF desire you like, and henceforth you work for the angels. But to ensure that you are impartial, you are eternally banned from interacting with your family and their descendants, you can't even talk to them. In fact upon accepting the wish, you simply disappear, your face to soon appear on the side of a milk carton. You can't even contact your family to tell them that you aren't dead or missing.
Do you or don't you?

Hey, I resemble that last option! XD
Now, before I choose, I want to make sure that I have this cleared... By working with the angels, does that make you an angel or a god/goddess?

Yes.
You still have to study and take the tests, but you can become whatever you qualify for.
And let's just say Kami-sama gives you a mental boost of some kind to allow you to speed through some of the qualification without having to spend 10 years studying gravity spirits.

I'm sticking with my desicion from the other one, I can't be a pawn for someone else, and, though maybe only one of my family members will even care if I disappear, I still wouldn't be able to live with myself because of my decision.

Well, I doubt anyone would be qualified for being an angel... Unless they were really stupid and needed a brainwashing. Otherwise I think anyone serving a purpose in Asgard would have a limited connection with Yggdrasil for particular information and calculation and that sort of thing. Otherwise, yeah, it would take a while for people to grasp things that need Yggdrasil's assistance with anyway.
But I suppose that I have nothing to lose. Since anyone that I care about isn't "related" unless you consider that everyone is related when you go way, way back. ^_^; So, yeah... Whisk me away! And hopefully I can be a goddess that ends up overthrowing the Almighty. ~.^
Viva la Nekkidism! Or something like that.

I'm not as certain about this as about the other. It seems like a rather thankless job and even if it wasn't then it is quite selfish to everybody who cares about you to abandon them in that way.

well the thing, is it wouldn't work like that... if you ascended in the omg universe they wouldn't cause distress and grief as part of the process cause that defeats the purpose of them helping humanity by cause more grief and strife. i put yes either way simply cause a ambigious wish like the sort you imply has limitless possiblities.

This time i'm leaning towards no, dunno why though. It seems Demons are more easy gonig and care free, less stress....and the dissapearing part...guh...

Win win situation. Inmortality and ...
Over time I will forget about them and they will forget about me. Time can heal every wound.

I would say no, since I love my family very much. Infact I think any tg with a moral dilemma is worth it. But yeah then again I am unsure of what I would really say if such a thing did come up.

By the barest of margins, I think I'll lean toward yes...

Despite my reasons for the other being to cause mayhem and such, I'd still do this as well. Whether working for good or evil, immortality is too good to pass up, and even though it'd be nice to take someone with me, I'm not attatched enough to mortal life to give up up on a chance to live forever . . .

I would not take this deal. For you see, even if my family causes me suffering, they still love me, and I still love them. To remove myself so suddenly, without a chance to say good-bye, would send at least two souls into damnation, and would destroy an angel's smile. My path is not that of an angel, nor a demon. It is the path of a Man, trying to do his best, trying to live, and trying to help others. That is the path I have chosen, and in that path, I would serve Kami-Sama...pretty much.

No. I really don't think that I could live with myself, not with all of the people whom I would hurt. It's supremely selfish. Just like suicide. You're backing out of your problems and leaving everyone else to mourn you and deal with it all... If there was some way to make sure that they wouldn't tear themselves up over it, like, say, making it clear that I wasn't killed or abandoning them, that it was like I had simply transcended (which, in a way, would be true.) then I might, but even then... I would still leave too many things that I wouldn't want to trouble them with, not the least being my disappearance and subsequent not-being-there... Perhaps if I was old enough that I wouldn't really have been "taken too soon", and had time to prepare my affairs, then I would strongly lean towards it, but as is, no.
Interesting question though. Very thought provoking.
