My answer would be... NO. I am to close to my family and friends. And, I suck at goodbyes. And I would probably never get used to having hoofs.. But maybe, if I grabbed all my friends and my family in their hands and ran into the Equestrie-portal.. they would come too? Heh. I think it would be awesome to be able to do like they do in "Avatar", just get closed into a box and become a pony in Equestria and when I want do go I just wake up.
The rules make it quite strict. My answer would also be no. Giving up everything I have here is not worth it.
I would take the offer if my family & friends came with me, other than that, no. I have too many connections here for that.
There's a lot of reasons why I wouldn't, but most of them are standard answers. So, two points that aren't. 1)As much value as I place in the idea of adversity and strife for the sake of personal progression, I don't think I could settle for a world that comes closer to being perfect. I mean, it has issues, it has the struggles that do help lead to perfection, but on the whole....Weird as it is to say, I like the challenge of this world. 2)I'm sorry to people who feel otherwise, but I feel like good reason or not, it is a bit of a shameful thing to do-or at least, it would be shameful for me. It's kind of like saying "Well, I quit, I'm taking the easy road" in a lot senses. And you know, I'm vain enough to admit that while I might be able to live with myself in regards to that, I couldn't handle everyone around me knowing I said "I couldn't handle my world. I couldn't work to become what I want. I couldn't find the things that made that life beautiful. I took the easy way out". I can forgive myself readily enough and am careful about who I put stock into, but I feel like the ponies of Equestria are all amazing enough people that their forgiveness and acceptance would matter to me, and I don't think I'd get it from everyone. I dunno, just some of my more unusual thoughts.
DEAD THREAD REVIVAL TIME! I honestly think that i wouldnt be able to say no. Obviously I'd miss everything i know and love here, but the more i think about it. the more it makes sense. Ive been on a road to self destruction for a while, but I'm managing to hold myself together fairly well, considering the circumstances. But if i was given the opportunity and turned it down, every single time something went wrong in this world, i would wonder how much easier my life would have been in Equestria. I dont think i would be able to survive, knowing i passed up a chance at pretty much guaranteed lifetime happiness. Saying goodbye would be really tough, but whats the point of staying in this world if the knowledge of what you missed would destroy you? You'd be saving your real life self, only to have it torn apart by "what if"s. So, in conclusion, i would do it.
