Anyone else would call it food for thought but I’m not anyone else. Thought is the step before action, the step most people stumble over. So even if one of these is “food for thought,” act on the thought, respond to the thought. Don’t let it die as a thought.
You might already guess this post will receive updates from time to time: if you do, you’re right. Congratulations; maybe with time I’ll even end up creating multiple.
If you’ve got an answer for any of these or one of your own, I’d appreciate if you comment down below.
- Is everything in life really a pendulum? Is there always a right and a wrong direction for the pendulum or is there something better than either extreme? Middle ground produces indecisive people and cowards, so where or what is this something better?
- How often do you take what you’ve learned and apply it? How often do you gain insights about something small or about the entire world around you and with that you go and change the world?
- Why do you give up when something seems impossible?
- The world is full of people crying out for help, refusing to be helped.
- We rush to defend offenders and are quick to criticize defenders (not sports). Should it be this way? Should it be the opposite? Is there not some better way?
- Is it possible to agree with the arguments or claims of a person/idea/group without agreeing with said person or group’s conclusion?
- You can laud a person for sticking with a belief, thought or idea for a real long time, but should you celebrate their consistency even when that idea is wrong or incorrect?
- Why is it that in times of personal crisis people give up everything that keeps them grounded?
- Who decided we could not agree with parts of multiple opinions? What if we honestly see something that meshes the arguments of two “opposing sides” but come to a different conclusion than either of those two sides? Why do we insist on refusing to understand that there are more than two ways to view the world? (yes, this somewhat ties back to the first one, but it also doesn’t)
