Questions 31 - 40
- Why do we accept anything bad about us as the truth while no amount of proof convinces us of our good qualities? A nearly infinite amount of positive feedback comes at me online but it only takes one comment that I do not like often to feel like that is the truth. Maybe I want to believe the truth about me is bad sometimes?
- What directs us to condemn that in others which is most similar to what we dislike and deny in ourselves? I called someone out today for talking behind my back about me and then I talked behind their back about them ...
- How do we best find empathy for those that resent us? Understanding their lives helps a lot!
- Where do we unlock the courage to share our truth when we are afraid of what people will think? Seeing others do it is what inspires me and I hope to show what that looks like in what I do here daily.
- Who would love to help us the most today? I will keep an eye open. Last night I called a friend when I was in the middle of a resentment and what cheered me up was hearing how excited he was at helping me.
- Which lesson can we learn the easy way today instead of requiring the hard way to be convinced?
- Will readers grow tried of my posts here, roll their eyes, unfollow, and forget me? It is up to me to do my best to serve and respond to feedback while not up to be who reads and how much.
- Can we really handle the truth or will it just make us mad? The truth used to only make me mad and today I realize anything that does make me mad is the truth I am avoiding.
- Why do I feel so awkward about tipping? What do I need to do to feel great about giving someone a tip? I am not sure why I feel so awkward about tipping and often feel like something nasty took place after giving a tip instead of feeling like I just was generous and kind.
- Why do we work so hard to avoid uncomfortable conversations and then benefit so greatly from them? My wife and I last night had been avoiding a conversation about our updated sex life since having a child for at least a year. It was a little painful talking our way through it but now we are much more on the same page about differences from before and after!
Thank you for reading another day of questions because this is helping me out a lot to expand my consciousness and I hope it provides the same for you! Do you prefer that I add comments to the questions to help the context I am asking them in be more clear?
Would you please upvote this post if would like me to make more like it because seeing how many upvotes I get helps me decide what to prioritize?
Love,

I think tipping is something most people find hard especially when involving different cultures. Some cultures believe the tip is included in the purchase price. Well at least that was how I felt as a server in college lol.
All these questions demand too much time. XD
If you don't ask questions you will never find the answers. Everyone is on their own journey. Some look for enlightenment while others wonder what their life meant. Often to late. Keep asking those questions Jerry.
Noone knows why only what!
lol right
I once met a man in a pub who was quite drunk, and he kept saying "It's nice to be nice." We laughed at him and then with him...but what keeps coming to my mind is the fact that of all the things I have heard drunks say all over the world, this one is the most memorable to me. I tell you this in reference to #9 on your list re: kindness.
Yes, It's nice to be nice.
Always insightful! Thanks

deep questions..
Thanks for sharing these great questions! These are all spot-on. You make a good point about always letting negative things affect us much more than positive things. I assume because as humans, we're wired to think negatively because of the media and subliminal messages. We criticize ourselves and get mad over the smallest things. The sooner people realize that life is a gift and we are to cherish every moment, the sooner we can block out those negative comments and appreciate the joy that people bring. I also loved your second question about disliking the things in people that we dislike most about ourselves. I think this stems from constantly wanting to better ourselves and trying to help other people to do the same. For example, I hate when someone is shy, yet I'm really shy myself. I get mad at them because I want them to enjoy life and not make the same mistakes I did. It feels good whenever I help people out so I do that whenever I can. We are subconsciously trying to make the world a better place by changing in it, what we don't like in ourselves. It's a convoluted way of helping others out. The rest of your questions can all be condensed into one simple word, confidence. If someone is confident, they won't second guess themselves. They won't stray away from uncomfortable situations. They won't get hurt by the truth because they're confident in who they are. They'll help people out in any way they can and won't worry about being judged or looked at differently. Being confident is a trait that many people admire, but few have. We all need to be confident in ourselves. Life is short lived, and the truth is, everyone is different. No one is better than anyone else. We are all on this Earth to help each other out and make the best of everything. So why not spread some joy, be optimistic, and make the world a better place? I'm a very open person and can talk about anything. That's why people like me and feel comfortable around me. I don't judge anyone and I always have a great attitude. This is something that's helped me get to where I am in life and is something I hope other people can share as well. Thank you for these great posts, they help a lot of people whether you notice it or not :)
Whoa !! @Jerrybanfield you nailed it again. These questions are taboo for a reason but you took it to us and then we have to react.
