Feel free to take one and write about it or think on it, the only rule is you owe an idea of your own or whatever writing/thoughts you came up with
How many people are not living paradoxically? It seems to me that people feel a certain way for instance 'that nature is sacred' or 'that creation/creative time is one of the highest pursuits', then they work as a lawyer and drive a lifted SUV. This isn't a moral judgment of those people as I probably find myself among them. It just makes me wonder, how can one live non paradoxically today or if it's even possible, and what is the worth of attempting anyway. Are peoples beliefs in question if they are living paradoxically?
Why should I say anything is anything without having first thought about and understood it? I keep seeing paid programs that purport to want to teach you about whatever job you'll be doing so that you don't 'freeze in the moment' or you've 'gotten reps in' and don't panic. I wonder is it not at least worth trying to shift your mindset for free before you pay hundreds or thousands for access to some simulation? Just imagine before you pay, you are being told something. "In this box is a poisonous snake", okay...do I hear anything inside the box? What is the weight of the box? What type of snake? And on and on. I guess it's surprising to me that people are drawn more seriously towards simulation instead of stopping to think for one second. No one told you to open the box. Whatevers inside is still inside. Just relax.
What is your idea of subservience, what is your idea of dominance? Is the dominant person someone who gets their way despite what the people they trample over might feel? Or is the dominant person someone who takes it upon themselves to provide what the non dominant might want? To what degree is your idea of what constitutes dominant and what constitutes submissive fueling your reactions to interactions you have in your job? Your relationships? At the corner store? etc. Do you feel like you're an agent in your own life? Or do you feel agentless? What is your preference anyway?
Why am I quitting [x thing I want to quit]? Is the quitting of this thing something that will actually lead to a healthier,happier life for me? What are the real influences on why I want to quit? Are their health concerns that outweigh normal wear/tear of the body(lol you're a rental btw)? Will I be happier having triumphed over this substance? Is it keeping me from serious life goals?
What will I do for you? It seems be the question posed in relationships most often. When you're arguing, when you're dating, when you're away or together, the relationship can be framed as 'what would I do for you?' and from the other person 'What would they do for me?'. Most relationship issues seem to be rooted in a mismatch to the answer tothese questions. Note that this is not in a honeymoon phase where your answer might be 'I'd kill everyone I love for you' or 'I'd do absolutely anything for you, yes a second holocaust' or any other similarly while sweet...dumb answer. Maybe a more pragmatic question transformation is 'What *are* you doing for me?' for both people to answer?
