The Great God Perspectivus came down from the heavens and along with him traveled the not-so-great and terribly finicky agod Selectivus. There was also the god of pronunciation, Ivusivus, but he rode in the back.

Upon seeing the world, the Great God Perspectivus proclaimed: "All of this will fail/succeed. All of this is good/evil. All of this is chocolate/chocolate with mint."
"Good God!" exclaimed Selectivus.
"Great," interjected Perspectivus.
"Everything cannot succeed/fail! There must be examples and heroes. Here, I will decide who succeeds by who has the most money."
"But are they happy?"
"Fine, then by who has the least money."
"But do they not starve and freeze?"
"Fine, those who are in the middle."
"But don't they always want more?"
"Well dammit, then who succeeds/fails?!"
"We leave that up to the individual to decide."
"So they're going to disagree and kill each other."
"Pretty much" said Perspectivus as he patted Selectivus on the head and headed back home.

A man then dreamt up a dead god sleeping below the sea.

Pronunciation shit himself.
