Deep Thoughts With Sam

And now…for your enjoyment, another Q & A!

Questions provided by Sam, the answers are all mine.

1) If your significant other died, do you (in the long term) see yourself remarrying? Would the answer be different if instead of dying your spouse left you for someone else?

I’m going to go with a “no” on this one. I just can’t imagine living with and loving any other guy.

2) How many keys are with you when you leave your house?

What kind of a in-depth question is this?

I’m not going to get up and check, but I’m fairly certain the answer is 8.

3) Do you have life insurance? Why or why not? If you answered yes but your only life insurance is through work, would you buy your own if work stopped providing it? Why or why not?

Yes. Funny story, this guy we know practically begged us to buy it from him. He was so charming, we couldn’t say no.

I’m quite glad we have it though. It is comforting to know it’s there, though I hope it’s years and years before we need it.

4) Someone offers you (and your other if fitting) the chance to live in the city/country of your dreams; all expenses paid. The catch is you can never speak to any of your current friends again, even if you came back. Do you do it?

Never speak to any of my current friends again? Have you met my friends? No way I’m giving them up. My answer is a decisive No Way Jose!

5) I had a conversation with someone who considered the “deaf or blind” question unfair since blindness is much more debilitating to a person’s quality of life than deafness. In place of the question, he asked (and I ask you,) “If you had to choose blindness or deafness with the inability to communicate, which would you choose?” In other words, you can’t learn sign language, you’re mute, and you can’t read lips. Which would you consider the lesser of two evils?

I’m going to go with blindness on this one. I’d much rather have the ability to communicate. I’d have to learn braille though, so I can keep up with my reading!

6) If you could have one superpower for a day, what would it be?

I’d LOVE to be invisible for a day! I’d be haunting everyone;-)

7) The Bible says those that do goods deeds for earthly praise have received their reward on earth and will receive no pat-on-the-back in heaven. That in mind, here’s a question… You have decided to do something worthwhile for your fellow man. You have no desire for the act to be made public. The problem arises when you realize that if this act were to be made public, many others could join in and make it even more dynamic and effective; maybe even change people’s lives forever. By announcing it though, there is certain to be earthly commendation heaped on you. So do you choose to keep quiet and do the good deed because it’s the right thing to do, or do you accept the thanks and accolades knowing many hands can do more than you alone can accomplish?

It depends on the deed and exactly what you mean by “change people’s lives forever”. If it is something huge that can only be accomplished by many, and there is no way others will think to do it on their own without following my lead, I think I might go for making it public. Considering that it would be changing people’s lives forever, I think that would be the right thing to do. The thing with this is, I would not be doing it for the praise, my intent would be for the good of others, so perhaps I’d still receive that heavenly reward?
