Questions
So, what's your story? What are your fears? What are your biggest mistakes, or regrets? If you had to offer me one piece of advice, what would it be? If you could negotiate the conflict in Gaza, how would you do so? Have you ever been outside of the country? If so, when was the last time, and where did you go? If you could go anywhere tomorrow, where would it be? If you could talk to one person who has passed away, who would it be? Do you pray to God? Do you go to church? Can you offer any book recommendations to me? From what you know of me, either directly or by reading these posts, what do you believe has been my biggest mistake? And what would be your advice for me to learn from it and overcome it? Do you know anyone who hates another class of human beings? Or in this day and age, it may be more proper to ask: do you know anyone who has spoken disdainfully on another class of human beings? poor people? white people? undocumented migrants? black people? How do you deal with that person(s)? Do you accept it, or have you asked the person(s) why she or he feels that way? Do you care about me? Do you love me? If so, can you please say a prayer for me? Would you like me to say a prayer for you? Would you like me to succeed? What do you believe is my best field for success? I ask again, if you could advise me in any way, personally or professionally, what would you say? If you worked in an environment with others who opposed you, either as an individual or for a category you belong to, would you continue to work there? If you were somewhere -- a workplace, a party, a conference -- where you felt keenly that you didn't belong, would you leave? or would you stay? Have you ever wondered why so many people, just in this country alone, disagree on so many things, even just the major public issues? If everyone is right, then does that truly mean that everyone is wrong? How would you rate the level of respect that exists in American society today? How do you feel, deep down inside, about someone who has differing beliefs than you do? If someone has committed an act that you disagree with, do you believe it gives you the right to talk down on them or look at them as less than a human being? Do you name-call other people? If so, would you be okay with others name-calling you? to your face, or behind your back? Where are the real professionals, who speak and act with professionalism at all times, today? Do you have children? If not, would you like to have children some day? Will you or do you raise your children to name-call others? Will you or do you raise your children to judge others? If you could offer one piece of advice -- of all the pieces of advice conceivably available -- to your children, what would it be? Do you love others as you love yourself? Do you love strangers as you love your family? Do you love people of the opposite sex as you love those of your gender? Did you read this far down? If so, what's your story?
