I came across this question when I was in a restaurant this week. I have thought about it often since I first read it.
By opening a door to anywhere, I also assume any time. Maybe you would walk through a door that would let you see a loved one again. You might choose to go through a door you skipped by when you were younger.
Or maybe you would stick to the present. You might want to cross a threshold to some place you always wanted to go. Or maybe you just want to use the door to exit where you are.
There’s also the future to consider. Do you want to go through a stage door of a famous theatre you might eventually perform in? Do you want to enter the Oval Office as president of the United States? Maybe it’s simply a cottage you want to retire to when you get older. All those doors await you.
With so many doors you could go through, which one do you choose? And why?
As Monty Hall would say: pick a door. Choose wisely.
