This question reminds me of the physics conundrum: Is the universe fundamentally made up of waves or of particles? The answer seems to be "both/neither." There's something reassuring about particles and multiple-choice questions, because they are discrete and clearly defined. Essay questions are tougher, because you have to decide first what the question means and then how you're going to approach the answer. I'm going to say life is an essay test, but with a twist: you get to pick your own questions.
Neither really; it's much more like a flowchart test: like one of those simulated test scenarios where the questions change according to the answers you gave to previous questions!
What if someone interviewed you over a period of thousands of hours, asking you every question you could imagine and many you couldn't? Through the course of the interview process, you would gain a keen understanding of yourself. You would end up with a comprehensive portrait of not only your surface thoughts, but also your deeper inner wisdom and insights. You would learn your whole story.
With a question a day, this blog is your interviewer.
We'll ask one new question here every day. Whether you're already on a journey of self-inquiry and transformation, or just starting, or simply want to begin a journal about yourself and your thoughts, your own answers to these questions will help you write the story of you.
There are ten thousand questions, and any one of them could turn your life in a new direction.
I hope it's multiple choice. I hate essays.
ReplyDeleteIf it’s an essay test, I may have to have my Inner Narrator take it.
