Would you rather be rich, beautiful, smart or happy?
Please explain why...
Being happy beats everything else.brWhen youre happy, you wont care much for being beautiful, or rich or smart.. You wont care. Youll just be.. Well, happy. When someone is truly happy, they wont care about what they dont have. They will just look at the bright side.brThats obviously the best one you can have..brI love to be truly happy. Its the best feeling in the world
Would you rather be a SALMON or a GOLDFISH?
My father owns a goldfish tank at home. They really are, beautiful, shimmery creatures. They swim gracefully about, seemingly happy. No predators. Meals routinely assured....brbrBut to me, they are simply swimming in the wake of their own recurring slipstreams. Returning to the same spot, again and again all their lives. Their beauty is merely for display, a showcase. Nothing more.brbrAnd I would not choose a life in such suffocating idleness.brbrSalmons on the other hand are inherent adventurers. They embark on amazing life journeys, venturing hundreds of miles upstream against strong, cold currents. Returning to reproduce at the very same place they were themselves spawned. brbrThe goldfish is my metaphor for a life in a cage. The salmon, of freedom and purpose. I would, choose freedom and purpose.brbrEven if I were to be unfortunately caught for a fancy item in a restaurants menu. Even if the oils under my skin, my precious Omega, is to be encapsulated for the supplementary needs of geriatric old ladies.....brbrI would think of it as a life well lived, even for one so short. brbrAt least my capture and subsequent passing would be of a worthier purpose than to simply flip over a golden belly in putrid recycled water, and then only to rot away in some strange and utterly foreign metal dumpster...
Would you prefer to be feared, respected or liked?
am sure some of the three qualities overlap. for example, someone can be liked and respected and some dictators in the past are respected and feared. but you have choose one only. am not sure which one i would choose.
Respected for sure. You can be liked but not respected which can cause problems for you, with your friends and family, you can be feared but no one will really like you and if they act like the respect you they really dont they are just motivated by fear.
