• Thursday, October 11, 2007 - Audience Question
"I thought in my heart, 'Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.' But that also proved to be meaningless."
- Ecclesiastes 2:1

Oh wow guys, I am sooo far behind on this. I've been really busy. I'm sorry!!! So today is going to be the Audience Question. And by the way, I may alter the schedule a little sometime within the next couple of days.
Last week I asked...
" If one of your friends talked to you in the same way you often talk to yourself, would you still be friends with them? Explain."
I got a lot of really good feedback from you all, here were some of your responses...
"Maybe yes, maybe no. On one hand, I'd kinda like a friend that wouldn't beat around the bush with my faults. On the other hand, I wouldn't want someone insulting . . . but since I'm me, I can't insult myself anyway . . . am I making any sense?"

"That's a tough one. Like, I'd really want someone to be honest with me, but do I want them to be *that* honest? LOL. Actually, I think sometimes it's hard for us to see our own faults, so maybe it wouldn't be that different. I guess in the long run, even though there may be times when it hurt, I'd rather someone know me *that* well that they COULD see those things and be comfortable calling them out."
- Earthling
"I know you won't believe this. ;-D But actually, I do talk to my closest friends just the way I talk in my head. We're always blurting out random, insane things and starting pointless conversations about them. Seriously, we can spend 30 minutes either debating the spelling of the word "encomium" or pondering Locke's philosophies and how they compare in the television show LOST. Really, when you're close to someone, you can discuss just about anything and they'll understand and accept it.
So uh, the short answer to your question? Yes, I would still be friends, because I tell them the crazy stuff in my head all the time!"

"....Second, to answer your question yes. I am a person that can be my harshest critic at the most craziest times but then I take those faults and reassess myself and try to make myself a better person. So I would absolutely be friends with someone that talked to me the way I talk to myself because that person could get me to realize true things about myself."

Next Week's Question:
Is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? Why or why not?
Also, as an update about the contest. Because of my tardiness, you now have until Sunday the 14th to get those stories in. So two extra days, woohoo!
