A great story JW!
It got me thinking: If you have all the power in the world and time doesn't affect you, what will become of that person? Probably something like this 'god'. Nothing matters to him because whatever choice he make he can remake it whenever he wants to. That gives the purpose of making a choice pointless. And whats the matter of building friendship with others equal to your power when you know that sooner or later (in terms of eternity) that friendship will never last forever?

Thanks man! I think what you're saying highlights why he is bored, and it's really not that hard to imagine the situation. For example, I could not be classified as "very wealthy," but I can imagine that if I I was very wealthy, I could literally buy anything I wanted, and it would get boring pretty quickly.

If we can have anything, there's never a need for a wish list. For this "god," existence is like a bad movie, as nothing could be a surprise to him, ever. So not only is choice pointless, existence is pointless as well. It's like playing a video game that you can customize, yet you're familiar with all the possible custom models already. There's never anything really new or different.
