The Book of Questions

All I know is that all of us has questions that we want to find answers. We have so many nagging questions in our mind that we still haven't realized the answer. I read one article on the newspaper about some of the dilemmas that we have and the answers from these questions from the Book of Questions by Gregory Stock Ph.D.

Here's some of the questions and the answers from the book of Gregory Stock Ph.D. I only chose the questions that tells more about me and questions that I think will benefit me. (talking about self-serving, lol). Anyways, I know some of you will surely relate on this post and will eventually inspires you to become a better you.

Q. Can you live in a different country with the one you love most, even if it means never again seeing your friends and family?

Yes, because true love is the sweetest pleasure imaginable, and also because this is the perfect time to say Yes. We now live in an era of unprecedented global communications, and being homesick has become a matter of choice.

Q. Would you choose to be a spectacularly successful professional but a lonely person, or a mediocre professional but a happy man?

I would take my chances on being the former, recognizing that loneliness is part of being human, and that success enables you to make a positive contribution to the world. In the end, what matters is not whether you've been happy or sad, but whether or not you've been helpful and productive.

Q. If God appeared to you in your dreams and told you to sacrifice your child to inherit His Kingdom, what would you do?

I would seize those opportunities to question Him about the wisdom of such drastic actions. "Surely," I would tell Him, "if Thou can create the universe, then Thou can communicate in a level I can understand." I have faith that God is wise enough to appreciate conundrums.

Q. Do you judge people with a standard that is higher than yours?

No, that's because it's hypocrisy. I think the word judge has a negative connotation in this context, but we all form definite ideas about other people's characters. In that sense, I always use the same yardstick I apply to myself. Just to give you an idea: I get disappointed by a greedy person because I know - and have proven to myself several times - that I am not like that.
