Picking up on some posts made by sushidog some time ago, here are some of my answers…
For a person you love deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant country, knowing there would be little chance of seeing your friends again?
I don:t think I would love the kind of people who would ask me to do that.
Do you believe in ghosts or evil spirits? Would you be wiling to spend a night alone in a remote house that is supposedly haunted?
Theres something to it, but I think haunting is more in the heads of those haunted than in the location they:re in…I:d have no problem staying in a haunted house, though I doubt I:d end up sleeping much.
If you could spend one year in perfect happiness, but afterward remember nothing of the experience, would you do so? If not, why not?
These kinds of questions are a bit hypothetical – whats the point of happiness if you don:t have some happy memories to go with it? Besides, happiness is more about what you make of a situation than anything else – you cannot have happiness without some sadness to contrast.
If a new medecine were developed which would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1 percent of those who took it, would you want it released to the public?
Yes, as long as the information about its fatality rates was public and told to those concerned.
If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?
I can:t say that here, they might be reading… but they:ve not been told because the time hasn:t been right.
You discover your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake?
Theres no point trying to correct such a mistake, the upset of change would cause more problems than it would solve, there:d be an emotional attachment by that point which would have to be regenerated with the real child.
