This is week four in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”
There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.
Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.
This week’s questions:
If you could change one thing in the world right now, what would you alter?
I would make the entire world a Vegan world. There are just so many benefits to living a Vegan lifestyle that it blows my mind that people still choose to eat animal products. Not only would our personal health be better than most people could ever imagine, but (as you can see from my last blog entry) it would literally save the planet as well. And I won’t get into the animal rights and animal cruelty aspects of it, because that just causes me to get really passionate and upset. And if you needed just one more reason to convince you, it’s been proven that Vegans taste better. Yes, there was a study.
If you had to assassinate one famous person who is alive right now, who would it be, and how would you do it?
Simple. I wouldn’t. I’ve never in my life been a violent person and never felt that violence was the solution to anything and there’s nothing less attractive in a person than being violent. I don’t care if this is just a hypothetical question either. There’s not a soul alive who I feel has done anything to warrant me assassinating them. You may feel different, but it’s just something I personally believe in quite strongly. I can’t even imagine taking the life of another human being.
If you could permanently alter one thing about your physical appearance, what would you change?
Well, isn’t this one interesting? This one isn’t so much an “If” at all, because I AM altering the thing that has caused me a lot of unhappiness with my physical appearance. I’ve always hated my smile and my less than perfect teeth, and I finally did something about it. About six weeks ago I began the Invisalign process. I should be receiving my first set of aligners within the next week or two, and then once the treatment is over, I will hopefully have that smile I always wanted.
If you could have stopped aging at any point in your life up to the present, how old would you want to remain?
Hmmm. Gut instinct is to say something young, as younger has a much better stigma in society than older does. But up to this point, I’ve never really felt “old” so there hasn’t really been an age that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed living. I suppose I’d say 25 though. Can’t really pick a good, logical reason other than it’s a nice round number. And old enough to be taken seriously in most things, but young enough to still be considered young by most accounts.
Those are my answers for this week’s questions. What are yours?
I would change it so that all employers were required to give their employees 6 weeks or more of vacation per annum. You need time to travel and explore. It will broaden your horizons and add immensely to your life. Works is not the only thing in life and want to be more than a “resource” at work.
I wouldn’t assassinate any famous person nor any other person for that matter.
Make both of my eyes 20/20 because one is near and the other is far sighted. The snag is that with glasses, the one eye is magnified somewhat. I like symmetry, so it’d be cool if both would like they were the same size. I can do it with contacts, but I hate all the fiddling one has to do with contacts.
Interesting question. You don’t get a full life if you don’t age. I’m inclined just to age and go with the flow. Life just doesn’t seem to be life unless change is present.
