Since I am now in my "emotional cripple" phase and really don't want to explore that anymore than absolutely necessary, thankyouverymuch, I found this online and thought it would be fun. You should do it too!
1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? Um, depends on the day I guess, recently an immature 2 at best, usually, probably close to my real age.
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Probably never trying, but that doesn't mean I think you should try in every situation.
3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Lot's of reasons, money, obligations, responsibilities

Depends on how this is meant. If doing is work, then definitely, I'm settling.
8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? Wow, well Im 41, so I guess I would be living like every day was a gift at this point.
9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? I don't think I controlled it at all for a long time. I'm trying really hard to change that now.
10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? Hmm, I worry about both! Probably more about doing things right though.
11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? I would defend my friend.

17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? There is a phone call that I REALLY want to make, but making it could disrupt a lot of peoples lives.
18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? Haha, uh, yeah!

21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? A joyful simpleton. Joyful sounds fun.
22. Why are you, you? Because if I wasn't who would be?
23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? I hope so.
24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? Wow, not sure which is worse. Both hurt like hell.
25. What are you most grateful for? My kids. Even when they piss me off.
26. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? See, the Buddhist in me should say that old memories mean nothing and to live in the now, but I couldn't give up my old memories

33. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose? Sometimes everything.
34. Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? Absolutely! I have been fortunate to know several amazing people with that ability.
35. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars? They don't accept anyones values or beliefs other than their own
36. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? In extreme cases, yes. I think that there is a lot of grey area between the two however.
37. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? Hell yes!! I would find one that meant something though, I wouldn't just not work.
38. Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? More work I enjoy doing. Hard work doesn't scare me, boredom does.
39. Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? Sadly, yes

50. Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you? I make them, because of others, or for the best interest of others, but I make my own decisions, for better or worse.
