Answers for Helios' Questions
If you are not reasonably happy and content now, what are you looking for?
I am reasonably happy and content! Actually I am saving up for a down payment on a small home or condo and working toward that goal. Seeing my savings account balance go up feels amazingly great.
When you are at the top of the world, what do you do to keep worry or fear from dragging you down?
Realizing that your highs don't last forever, but neither do your lows. The only time you need to worry is when that pendulum stops swinging.
When you are low and fighting a difficult fight (e.g. involved in a land war in Asia), what do you do to keep hanging in there until things get better or help arrives?
Keep my expenditure of energy as low as possible.
Where do we go after we die?
Depending on your traditions, you could end up buried underground, placed in a vault, thrown into the sea, burned to ashes and placed in an urn, burned to ashes and scattered somewhere meaningful, or cut up and placed on an open plain to have vultures eat you. Some of the lucky ones get shot into space.
If peace/perfection/tranquility could be placed on one spot in the world, where would you place it?
My bedroom.
What do you like about yourself?
I stay calm during a crisis.
Who's got your back?
I do.
Who was that one person that got away?
I used to have a couple of these, but now I realize that if they hadn't got away then I wouldn't be with who I'm with now. And since the guy I'm with now makes me deliriously happy, all those potentialities are irrelevant.
What trait(s) did you inherit from your parents?
Hard work, determination, good manners, a love of learning, enjoying a spontaneous road trip, not caring too much about others' opinions, seeing the goodness and beauty in everything that crosses my path.
What song(s) sum(s) you up best (not necessary today, but usually)? Provide youtube/vimeo/etc link if possible.
I love this song, but I ADORE this song when it's sung by Peggy Lee.
