How Does a Post of All Questions Sound?

Why is it so tough to come up with great things to say in the moment? Is it because coming up with the timely words is not meant to be? Is it because, sometimes, the perfect words are actually not true honesty, but rather a faux pas, unrealistic phrase to cover the true feelings? Or does it all mean that the perfect thing to say is whatever comes out without thinking?

2403249501_a57876dcb8What about decision making? Do decisions based on an immediate reaction have a more accurate result or depiction of our true reaction to such a situation? Do our decisions that are well thought out really say what we really mean or are those snap decisions what we actually mean? Why are we so focused on decisions in life? Why not look at our experiences and say, “Well, this person has messed up so much, they definitely have an idea what to do differently to be right”? Why not see such scenario as a positive rather than the negative of continuous poor decision making? Why do we dismiss the fact that everyone at some point realizes the wrong decisions are such and corrects every decision from that point forward? Are we willing to accept the risk of this moment being that point of change? Or are we so focused on the statistics of decisions that we cannot change our perception of a decision maker?

How about class warfare? Why don’t we focus on the personality traits and characteristics of the individual(s) rather than the dollar figure that is associated with their asset or liability table? What really is an asset or liability? What makes one class better than the other? Will I ever be able to rid myself of the class stigma’s my ‘class-association’ has embedded into my head? Why is it so hard to realize that classes are nothing more than a control over power? Is Animal Farm the most realistic fiction book ever written? What would class status mean if we started everyone off from scratch right this moment? Would chaos ensue? Who would survive? Would you want to see such class warfare? Would your class survive? What questions would you ask yourself right now if you were to know that scenario was going to actually occur? Why has it became so easy to come up with so many questions on class warfare? Why can’t we realize differences, just accept them, and move on?

When will we decide it is better to open our minds to accept rather than reject? Why is it so hard for most people to accept different ideas? What would the world be like if we were all carbon copy’s? Would you want to live in a world where everyone agreed with you? Would you enjoy life and be productive? What would we learn from being the same? Would life really be better off if you and I had no characteristics?

Wouldn’t it be nice to know all the answers? Or would it? Why do I always think there is nothing to do or talk about when it only takes a little bit of effort to be productive and realize my potential?

Did you imagine I could come up with such a post by asking only questions? Who would have guessed it?

Why not ask LifeExcursion readers, as well as me, a question that has bugging you in the comments section? What’s the worst that happens?

    Are we suppose to respond with all questions? Why didn’t you tell us that? would it benefit anyone? How will we know? Does it matter? and when do I stop? or why should I? see what you’ve got started? Would JD ever outlive the guilt for posting a link? and why has he not responded? Who else is crazy enough? Do you have to be crazy? or is does it take a genius? Will anyone other than time tell? Would I ever find out? What would happen if I can’t shut up? do you have enough web space? enough bandwidth? Shall I hit the submit button? Oh, why the hell not?

      Should I say touche Rasheed? Or should I just be happy someone commented?

      In what way should I continue this? Have I run out of questions? Could I have really done such a thing?

      What is a great comment? Is Rasheed’s? Is there anyway of agreeing with someone through a question?

    Would it be redundant for me to leave another comment with just questions? Would it achieve anything? Was this post really unique and interesting? Or just annoying? Have I decide yet? What do other people think?

    Why wasn’t this post a series of shorter posts so we could actually respond? Have you recently spent an extensive period of time with a 3 year old? If we constantly answer questions with questions, are we therapists, politicians or just following a trend? If you would like a more rational response, will you let us know in a future post?
    Okay, point made: We can all do this but some of us are responding favorably to an innovative idea. Making it a habit would drive us nuts, just thought you would like to know. You’ve also been added to my RSS feed reader. As someone who has a history of making poor decisions, I can only speak for myself when I say it has taught me a number of hard lessons that seems to make me good for advice. (It must have, my friends seem to come to me with their problems, especially if they seem way outside mainstream issues.)
    I look forward to future posts and will review some older ones when time permits.

    I’m really glad Steve broke the trend of writing all in questions, that takes a load of pressure off!

    This post would give anyone insomnia :) It’s certainly nice to read that someone else out there is asking the same questions I think about. When you find the answers you’ll have to write another post!
