Nouveau stuff, maybe?

I found this, and I read the first three questions, and I like it. I'm going to do it. Maybe this will stimulate any writer's/motivational block I have. There are 22, and I'm doing the first 3 or 4 in this post. These answers are totally mine and written with proper deep thought, so do comment on what you expected and especially on what you didn't. Because I put effort into this! Haha :)

1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

  This is a very contradictory question for me. I look much younger than I really am. So, for starters, I'm 23. I look around 16-18. Small face, small features, petite (not short). But my mind acts around 22-25. Younger siblings to take care of (they never start studying for exams until and unless I get their schedules made), always organized and I plan very ahead of time.But I think this question was more directed on looks rather than mind, so around 16-18. I'm cute (:

2. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

Because we don't realize it. Life doesn't feel short to anyone I know of, because I'm in my 20s and so are the people around me. But I've seen how the elderly act; careful, fragile. Very calm and quiet. They know life is short. It's in human nature to forget our own mortality. And when we are reminded of it, it is such a terrifying feeling that we instantly try to forget it again. I know I do. I am one of those people who go to sleep every night planning the next day, without thinking that I may not wake up. I wish I formed the habit of saying Bismillah everytime I woke up, but I only do it for two three days, and I forget. I'm thankful to be alive, but at the same time I'm not thinking that my time is running out. We humans are in some sort of denial, one way or the other.
So we do things we don't like because we think later on we'll have time to do the things we DO like. Andddd I didn't understand the second part of the question. Like so many things we don't do? If it means we keep on dreaming and we don't follow our dreams, it's the same reason. WE THINK WE HAVE TIME.

3. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

This is such a pageant question, waisay. Hahaha. It's not world peace, like all those pageant girls say. There are a hundred things I want to change. But if there was just ONE thing I could go to the UN meeting or the World Court for, and they would listen and implement what I say, it's building a better educational structure for all the underdeveloped countries. Everything, everything comes back to education. It's the grass root level. I once read somewhere "Maybe the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of someone who cannot afford education." That stayed in my mind since then, and I kept on thinking "That is SO TRUE. Do world leaders not know this?" Everyone needs to be educated. It's a fundamental right.

4. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?



I think I'd just be grateful more, and wouldn't wait to follow my goals. I'd get started on multiple goals simultaneously. I'd be a more stout Muslim than I am now. Iman would be stronger, because God knows it's quite low at the moment. I'd finish my education earlier. Get married earlier, maybe. That's about it. We're humans, once again. It's in our nature to forget life is short so eventually I think I'll go back to my passive state.

Now I'm going to go watch an episode of Happy Endings season 2 and then get started on studying for a test on Wednesday. Bye :)
