It is no secret that the Intramuralist loves the question mark. It’s the only punctuation piece that invites an answer (… and we wonder why we keep conversationally shutting down one another…).
With a search spanning the pages of Facebook, Forbes, Readers’ Digest, and my own, etc. — recognizing that some of life’s questions are oft related to the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat — I found myself pondering the following…
… especially in regard to the current socio-political climate that is less than conversational… less than respectful… less than inviting… less than good…
(… yes… less than good…)
- What are the questions we each must answer?
- What am I pretending not to know?
- What are my values and am I being true to them?
- What — or who — am I living for?
- In what ways am I being perceived, that I’m not aware of?
- In what ways am I being deceived, that I’m not aware of?
- Do I honor the authorities in my life? Am I actually willing to acknowledge authority?
- Where are my blindspots?
- What is wrong with the world?
- How can what’s wrong be made right?
- Is money the root of all evil?
- What is the definition of evil?
- Where am I less than patient?
- Where am I withholding grace? From whom am I withholding grace?
- What don’t I know, that I don’t know?
- Would I be focusing on the same things today if I knew I was dying tomorrow?
- How would my role models act and carry themselves?
- Who is God and what does he ask of me?
- Is there anything within my control that I need to change today?
- Where have I been unkind?
- Where have I been discriminatory?
- Where have I been awful to the person who doesn’t think like me?
- Who has the right — and the ability — to judge?
- Where am I being judgmental? … and…
- What did I learn today?
(… hopefully something…)
Respectfully…
