10 Questions to Make You Think

1.       Why do we do fine when people aren’t looking, but if we ask them to watch, we mess up? 

2.       Do things taste differently for different people – and if we tasted what they taste, then we would like it, too, or are our taste buds different?

3.       Why do we have favourite colours?  Why do you think whoever thought of it thought of it?  When do you think he/she thought of it?

4.       When is a child accountable for his or her sins?

5.       Is your first memory real, or a dream?  Has your first memory always been the same?

6.       What if you had all the money in the world?  What would you do with it?  How long would you have all the money in the world…because if you bought anything, someone else would have money, too.  Would your supply of money be endless because you would have money printed for you personally?  Do you think it would really be possible to have all the money in the world, or would people be dishonest and steal the money you printed or print their own?  Do you think you’d ever find out that you weren’t the only person with money?

7.       If you close your eyes, is it harder to smell, hear and taste?  If you listen to loud music that drowns everything out is it harder to concentrate on something or smell or taste something?  Is that in your head or real?

8.       Why do you believe what you believe?  Are there any holes/uncertainties in your beliefs?

9.       How do you know that something you’ve been doing all your life isn’t wrong?

10.   When foreign people write poems, do they rhyme in English, the sounds of the language, or the words of the language?

So true about #1!!!

I’d never wondered if people taste things differently…actually, you know there are certain flavors only some people can taste; I read that in my science book once, I think.

Favorite colors? We just have favorite everythings…pasta is my favorite food, purple is my favorite color, Celtic is a favorite sort of music (not the only one!)…

I think a child is always accountable for their own sins.

I’ve actually never had a first memory. I just…don’t. I have random early memories, but if I think hard about it, I can never pull one out and call it my first. Actually, when I think about it, I can never think of any of them; they just come to me randomly…

That money one is funny. But no, I don’t think it’s EVER possible for one person to have ALL the money in the world.

I think it’s easier to smell/taste/hear when your eyes are shut, because you rely on your other senses more when sight is unavailable…but then again, I’ve never technically TRIED it…
