I’m going to be honest. Neither shines. They are both kind of… downers, I guess. You want to give them a reason to want you on campus. If you can intrigue or entertain an overworked admissions officer reading hundreds of essays, bonus points! Your essay topic does not have to be deadly serious or weighty. It does need to reveal your personality, and make them think that you would add something to their campus. You do have the right idea to brainstorm ideas regardless of the prompts, then try to figure out how to fit to one.
