◘ When you look at others what to you see? Mostly, alot of fear and confusion, but there are those rare occasions when I catch a glimmer of light.
○ When others look at you, do you think they see Christ in you? Probably not yet but I'm working on it.
◘ How important is life to you? It's everything.
○ Who does God want you to be that you have not been, and what does God want you to do that you have not done? HINT: "The Catcher in the Rye."
◘ Could you live a life surrendering all you have and all you are so others can benefit without you ever knowing about the outcome of your giving?
I think in today's world, that concept would end up becoming an oxymoron. For starters, whoever would do such a thing would immediately stand out, because in modern times, such a thing is completely unheard of. Second, with as widespread and intrusive as the media is, no matter how much a person might humble themselves in the act of surrendering their life, it's ultimately going to gain them ALOT of attention because of the novelty, so in essence, I think they would become a celebrity whether they liked it or not.
Because of this, I honestly don't think that a modern day Ghandi would be able to carry out his/her task under the shroud of total anonymity while having not even the slightest inkling of the effects of his/her efforts.
◘ Would you accept $1,000,000 to leave the country and never set foot in it again? Why or why not? No, for two reasons:
1. $1,000,000 won't get you very far in today's economy.
2. The world is becoming a much unfriendlier, unhospitable place for Americans. Especially after the Iraq War pt. II.
○ If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one ability or quality, what would it be? I need more "gravitas."
Why?
It's an absolute necessity for any good leader.
◘ If you could choose how you die, how would it be?
Taking a bullet for my family.
○ Would you be willing to murder an innocent person if it would end hunger in the world?
Two wrongs don't make a right. So no.
Would it torment you more to have the blood of an innocent person on your hands or to know you let millions of people die from hunger?
Innocent blood.
While I may have the ability to control whether I kill one person, only God has the ability to control the fate of millions, let alone via the means by which their lives are ended. I'm not powerful enough to "let" anyone die of hunger.
◘ If you were to die today with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone?
I would probably most regret not having the opportunity to tell everyone in my life 'goodbye' and that I love them all.
Why haven't you told them yet?
Obvious reasons.
I have never read "The Catcher in the Rye"....
