If you were anything but a human being... (a response)

I've always wanted to be important to everybody. So, if given a chance to be in another form -- I would like to be an oil. Where people can't live without me. Industries, organizations, households etc., can't operate without me. As I diminish in measure, my value would increase. People would always talk about me, my importance, my presence, and they would kill each other over me. That's how I wanna be.
