Random question

Can't speak for people but it's in my DNA - helps me to make sense of myself - consequently increases my level of self awareness and also helps me to try and understand others.....through the process of elimination. Comes in handy when you're trying to decide on which architect to go with and the all important one - pick the wrong builder and you'r screwed.

Why are some people considerate and kind?
 
Because they're born with the considerate and kind gene. That or they used to be an asshole and then realized being considerate and kind was actually easier.

Why would people step over and ignore an obviously sick person (needing help) lying in the street?
 
Because to ignore a sick person is cowardly and to help the person requires fortitude. Cowardice is easier.

Why do people always pee on public bathroom seats and then don't clean up their own mess? (This seriously grosses me out.)
 
Carelessness, or they have insufficient constructive ways to express bitterness.

How often do you swim at the beach?
 
Way too little, there aren't really great beaches here, maybe once in a year?

What could help with loneliness?
 
Move.

Why do some people think someone else must have told you something, when you just know or obviously know enough to figure it out?
 
perhaps because they're annoyed with themselves that you figured out something that was incomprehensible....or they're just jealous or surprised at your natural flair for discerning things...or ...no I think I'll stop...

What makes you feel alive?
 
Deep question. I guess because they focus on the end result rather than the process. I'm not going to make a moral judgment.

Are you the sort that will suffer through a boring book once started, or drop it and start another?
 
I'll drop it and start another. I need to feel that zing which says, stick with it, and the story will improve.

Why do we hope for the things we can't have, if we know we're never going to receive them?
 
because things don't always turn out the way we expect and we're counting on that sudden change of fate

when is the last time you were truly happy?
 
I often have fleeting moments of happiness about little things throughout any given day, for example, when my dog gives me a hug and kiss, when I eat something delicious, when a loved one smiles at me. I guess these are like eye candy happiness, meaning they're fleeting. Then there are the deep feelings of happiness about myself and my life. These things offer long term periods of emotions, happiness being one of them. To me happiness is an emotion not a continual state of mind.

What are your thoughts about the shadow aspects of yourself?
 
Positive - I see it as just another great opportunity for me to learn more about myself.

Is it possible to teach people common sense? If yes, how would you go about it? If no, why not?
 
Interesting question! I believe it's possible to teach "common sense", the kicker is whether or not the person you are trying to teach it to is willing/wanting to learn it. How would I teach it? First, determine the context where the term "common sense" is being used. Then teach it the same way you teach any other subject, break it down into sections.

So many people believe "common sense" is something that if you don't possess, you're screwed, which is not true. It can be taught and learned like any other subject, and like a lot of things, it takes practice. Its just some people will have a better knack for it then others in certain areas of life. "Common sense" is just a tool that people can learn to apply to any part of their lives. Well, at least thats my perception of it at this moment in time, which (these days) can change at any moment.

Have you ever had a negative vision about another persons life? If so, what did you do with the information?
 
Yes - I shared it with the person. I can only describe the experience as a form of dystopian suffering and it left such an impression on me that I was willing to take the risk and look stupid as I wanted to make sure the person was OK. I won't go into the details but she confirmed the experience as true and cautiously received some emotional solace from what I shared. I want to say more but will stop here.

When was the last time you did something that you didn't want to do but you did it anyway? What was the result?
 
I left the teaching profession. I didn't want to do it. I hung in there as long as I possibly could. I had to make a choice between my personal health and something I really loved and believed in being a part of. The result was improved health but left a big hole in my life. I can't say I regret it but I certainly do miss it.

Do you believe in anything 100% without question? If so, what is it and why do you believe in it?
 
No, I don't believe in anything 100%. I question everything, not sure if that's a good or bad thing, lol..

How do you cheer up yourself in hard moments?
 
Cry, cry, cry, cry cry, eat lots of See's candy, watch sad movies, cry more, then slowly rejoin the human race one breath at a time.

Do you believe in religion? Why or why not?
 
Religion exists - yes, but I don't think I ever believed in religion.

I'm a Christian so in one sense, Christianity is regarded as a religion but God took me out of religion and introduced me into a relationship. This relationship is based on grace and is not dependent on the "works of man" so sets itself apart from religion.
