This week I’m doing something a little different. Still questions and answers, but this week I’ve gathered those from other bloggers. There are a few more than usual too, which you can choose to answer all of or some of. If you’ve done the question on that other blogger’s site, feel free to use the answer you gave to them if you want. Each blogger is credited for their contribution.
Suggestions for Responding:
- Create a SYW post. Then post the link to your blog in my comment box or leave your answers in the comments box of my blog.
- To make it easy for others to check out your post, title your blog post “Share Your World” and link it to this post.
- Remember to Follow My Blog to get your weekly reminders.
- Ping-backs are activated, but how efficiently varies. For instructions on how ping-backs work, in case you weren’t certain, please click here. You may wish to leave a link to your blog post in the comments just to be sure. Thanks!
QUESTIONS:
Courtesy of Rory:
Are we losing the art of listening in comparison to simply hearing?
We are! Mostly we are impatient and don’t even let the talker finish before we lodge into our own dialogue. I am myself guilty of this because of my impulsive nature. We should not only listen but also think when we are in conversation with someone.
How often do you openly discuss with friends or here in WP with your readership topics that make you feel uncomfortable or may be taboo or stigma laden?
The issues which are considered taboo in polite company are mostly politics and religious beliefs. Other than these, mental illness, our own or other’s are also considered taboo. I do discuss all and any subject that I feel I can discuss with any authority. One should have a proper grasp of the topic before we express our opinions on it. But most subjects are open for discussion on my blog. The only exceptions are topics of very personal nature. I don’t feel comfortable discussing them or commenting on them.
Do you think that these discussions should be freely discussed and written about more?
I definitely do. Discussion is good way to enrich our knowledge.
Did you have a nickname as a child and if so, what was [or what is it now]?
Not that I remember.
Why is there still ‘stuff’ we simply just don’t understand despite our progressive world?
There will always be “Stuff” that would be beyond human comprehension. And frankly we are better off not knowing Everything!
Would you rather double your height or lose half your weight? (In response to last week’s double your weight, half your height query). Thanks Leslie!
