Death Notes

I have been reading some manga that my brother wanted me to read, and then anime that goes with it called Death Note.  Basically is about Death Gods who have note books that they write people’s names in and well the people die.  In this manga, a Death god: Ryuk gets bored and drops his notebook into the human world.  A young man Light Yagami picks it up and decides to use it to kill the criminals and make the world free of crime.  But…what he is doing is considered murder and the serial killer is name “kira” and is investigated by the world’s best detective L.  The story goes on and on; a few twists and turns are thrown into it.

I got to thinking.  What if something like that existed?  What if the Angels of Death had lets say a list of people that are supposed to die and it somehow gets found by a human.  Would we have enough faith to understand the complexities of it, or are we going to be greedy little buggers and use it to our own personal gain like several characters in the series?  The idea that I am going with are even the most innocent of people…capable of killing other people “for the sake of the world” like Light? or will we try to just make our own lives better?
