50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind; 50 Questions That I've Answered

These questions were taken from this site.
These questions have no right or wrong answers.
Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.
  1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? If I don't know how old I am, I would ask someone who does. If there's no one, then I won't care about my age. After all, age is not just measured by the number of years one has lived.
  2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life thinking what will be the outcome otherwise. It still depends on the situation though.
  3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? It's because there are too much constraints it's not amusing anymore - like money, time, social views, "proper etiquette", etc. It's one of the aspects of life that I don't fancy much.
  4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? Always. But you can't turn back time, can you?
  5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? I want people to be really free. Remove constraints. (Inner-hippie showing lol)
  6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? I love libraries. I love books. I love learning. If I know I can succeed in anything and I can pick any work that will just make me happy - I'll work in the Library of Congress. And it's also been a crazy dream of mine to work in the British Museum.
  7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? I always do what I believe in.
  8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I wouldn't live it differently. To be honest, I can't see myself beyond 40 years of age.
  9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? I try to control as much as I can. Then again there  parents, teachers - adults and superiors who always have to control you.
  10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? Doing the right things. I'm not a "perfectionist". Everything one does, if one loves what he/she is doing, is perfect.
  11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? Unjustified? Of course I'll give justice where it is due. I will defend my friend (even if it's not a friend), explain to them why they are wrong or out of line.
  12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Believe in magic, you muggle.
  13. Would you break the law to save a loved one? Maybe if you're saving a loved one, you're not "breaking the law". I dunno, maybe all you need is a good lawyer. Haha.
  14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? I'm not a good judge of insanity and creativity.
  15. What’s something you know you do differently than most people? Hmm let me get back to you.
  16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? To each his/her own.
  17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? I really want to travel. Finances and studies hold me back. I need to prioritize my education over pleasures.
  18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? No. Nothing that I'm aware of.
  19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? I want to move to Ireland. It seems like a really peaceful and magical place.
  20. Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? Yes! Haha. I don't believe it makes the elevator move faster, I just like pushing it.
  21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? Joyful simpleton. I admire guys like that - Alan Garner, Napoleon Dynamite.
  22. Why are you, you? Because I'm me and I'm what I make myself to be.
  23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? Always.
  24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? Losing touch with a good friend near you.
  25. What are you most grateful for? A chance to life. Chances.
  26. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? Lose all of old memories.
  27. Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first? No.
  28. Has your greatest fear ever come true? Not yet.
  29. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? I don't remember it. If I don't remember it, that means it doesn't matter now.
  30. What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special? I'll get back to you.

  32. If not now, then when? In its right time.
  33. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose? Everything. Or at least something, no matter how small. You can't gamble blindly.
  34. Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? N/A
  35. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars? Because they are sitting on a throne of lies (props if you get the "The Elf" reference). If they really support war then there won't be wars.
  36. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? Sometimes. But there's not a clear border between. You can spot an extreme good and extreme evil, but there are things that are vague.
  37. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? I will still work.
  38. Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? More work I enjoy doing.
  39. Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? Ugh yes.
  40. When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in? Ahh speaking in metaphors, I see. No, it haven't been that way yet.
  41. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? Besides my family? I think I'll visit the one I know the least.
  42. Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? asdfghjk it depends on my life expectancy.

  44. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? Yes.
  45. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? Because there's always an expense to pay even if we gain something. It's up to us if we want to take the new stuff or let go of the old one.
  46. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? I just want to be myself.
  47. When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing? Today.
  48. What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love? Oh I love lots of stuff. One should not be afraid to love because unlike money, we have unlimited supply of it. I don't openly express much though.
  49. In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that? Probably not.
  50. Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you? I try to make the most of it, but sometimes I can't help it if others want to make them for me.
Thanks to my amazing friend and kick-ass blogger Dianne for this. Lots o' love!
