If I Had To Create A Universe

I'd start by creating myself by realizing that I am myself.
But after an eternity, I'd be bored.
So, not knowing anything else, I'd create more beings like myself.

But I'd get sick of the Sausage Party and invent "variation".
Then I'd add one baad heina.
But then again, in eternity, I'd be bored.


So I'd create a slew of minions to carry out my desires.
These would act to continue the rules I would set forth without question or variation.
Everything would run as it should to perfection.

But, in eternity, I would get bored.
So I would created beings which had flaws.
Beings who were capable of making mistakes.
Beings who could also become conscious of their being.
Beings who could question their place in the grand scheme of things.
Beings who needed me to assist them in becoming perfect.

But these beings would still need some type of system to earn their advancement.
These beings would be rewarded (and punished) for the decisions they'd make.
The more closely they'd follow the rules of my universe, the more they'd progress in becoming a permanent part of it.
The more flawed and rebellious their decisions - the more likely they'd face permanent deletion.

Would my system (and I) be flawed,
or would the blame be placed on the characters created? (The characters were only doing what they were created to do with the attributes given to them by me.)
Should I provide a means to escape deletion through "cheats" (a savior)?
How many chances should each character have to get things right?
Should I allow "Save Points" to allow the characters to start from a previously successful run at the desired end result? (Instead of having to start over from the beginning of the game.)
Are video games a good interpretation of how the Universe was created?
