Simple, Yet Profound.

Some responses from a discussion-starter game called "What would you do.." that we played today:


"If you could break a record for anything in the world, what would it be?" Kindness.

"If you found out two of your best friends went to the movies and didn't invite you, what would you do?" Well if they were truly my best friends they would've invited me!

"If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?"  A dog! Because they're loved by everybody.  I like to be loved.  And they can be helpful.  I would want to be a helpful animal.  A seeing eye dog, maybe.


I also received some relationship advice today:


"People are too picky these days.  You have a good thing, then you go and throw it out because you've convinced yourselves there is something more perfect out there.  Stop configuring your own ideal of what is best.  Instead, seek out the best in what is already around you.  If you truly have a good thing, believe me, there will be plenty to appreciate.  That way, over time, it will start to become even better as you appreciate it more.  And in doing so, you'll improve your own character too."

(Please, nobody stay in an unhealthy relationship because of that.  You do deserve the best.  Take it with a grain of salt :) Thanks.)

And finally, a quote one of my former philosophy professors shared with me:


From Plato: "I enjoy talking to the elderly, for we should ask them, as we might ask those who have travelled a road that we too will probably have to follow, what kind of road it is, whether rough and difficult or smooth and easy." - Socrates (Republic, Book 1).
