Ok found a quiz that sorta makes you think, time for you to steal it Bren.
1.Life after death or death after life?
Both. Seems weird and almost unimagineable that after death, your brain and whole body are there but YOU aren't. All the thought is gone, you is no longer...you.
2.Would you rather have an uncureable disease that was not deadly, but painful, or would you rather have a painless disease where you only had so long left to live?
I think I'd rather have a painless disease and know that I was going to die one day because of it. It'd make me cherish life and not take it for granted, and I'd live it to the fullest, and being in good health wouldn't hold me back from doing things.
3.If you and the love of your life broke up but agreed to be friends, would you rather be hurt the rest of your life and not talk to him/her, or would you rather talk to him/her but your feelings continued to grow for him/her and there was nothing you could do to get back together?
I would rather not talk to the person, that way the feelings would become less and less over time and it'd be easier to find someone else. If you stayed friends then the feelings would just grow, and you'd still have the hurt of knowing you couldn't be with him or her.
4.Family pressure or peer pressure?
I think I'd rather have family pressure, I'm so much more used to it. Although I don't really give into peer pressure. I don't think lol.
5.Your brother going to war or your brother going to jail for twenty years?
For me, I'd pick going to war in a heartbeat. But sending someone else off to a dangerous situation like that, I wouldn't be able to do. Not like prison can't dangerous though. But after 20 years, the guy would still have some life left to live....but what if he would have rather gone to war, and would be bitter for the rest of his life that he lost 20 years of his life...tough question!
6.Is life really worth it? You live then you die. Everything you worked so hard for will be gone.
So? It can be so much fun along the way. If all the memories and shit are gonna be gone when you die, why not make the best of it?
7.If you could know the exact day you were going to die, would it change the kind of person you'd be?
Definately. I think all material items would lose their value in an instant for me. This question makes me sad.
8.If you could know the exact day you were going to die, would it change the things you would do?
Definately! Stop asking morbid questions.
9.Do you realize that everyone is going to die eventually and you shouldn't put it off until tomorrow...there may not be tomorrow.
I knew this was coming and now I'm gonna feel guilty...should've answered 'have a lot of sex'.
10.Is life really a precious gift if bad stuff happens to you all the time and never gets better, it only leaves unresolved answers followed by more pain and hurt?
No. Every day you'd see all this crap happening to you, while other people have it good, and each day would leave you more depressed and in a worse situation. I don't think that would constitute life as being a precious gift for anyone.
The next part in this is just questions of approaching certain things.
1.If you and your mother fought for years and you wanted to make up with her, how would you go about doing it?
I don't know, probably something including telling her about how life is short and it's useless to keep fighting...hard to answer when it doesn't say what you're fighting about/over.
2.Say you were in to some bad stuff like drugs and alcohol, you weren't planning on quitting, but you wanted to confront your parents. How would you go about doing so?
If I didn't want to quit, then I don't think I'd tell my parents, knowing them they'd prolly try to get me into rehab and stuff.
3.What do you say to a best friend who just lost their mother to make her feel better when she was like your second mother?
Hey bartender, my friend's drinks are on me tonight.
Err tough one I suck with comforting people. I really think I'd suck at this, I'd prolly be most comfortable staying quiet and lending a shoulder to cry on.
4.How do you take away the pain of losing a loved one?
Can't answer this that well since I've only lost one aunt, but for me from that, just time. Eventually you just think about it less. And when you do, it doesn't hurt as much, turns more into a fact than an emotion. Initially, talking about the fun times was a little troublesome, people just cried more and realized they wouldn't be able to do that anymore. But after a while, I think it helps ease whatever pain is left even more.
