I find connection between the theory of parallel universes, the multiverse, and the unlived lives we all could have lived had we made different choices. And very often, popular culture makes that connection for me.
Case in point, ELO's (Electric Light Orchestra), "The Rain is Falling". "With their brand new time transporter, they'll think maybe I fought to get away. But with all their great inventions, and all their good intentions, here I stay." Here I stay...in the life I do live. I don't think about my unlived lives to "get away" from anything. I think about them because I spend so much time writing about the unlived lives of my characters. And so do many who have read Raymond's story based on their questions and comments. They often now reflect on their own what-might-have-beens. Don't fight it. Your life choices, both those you value as well as those you don't, are all a part of the life you do live.
