Reality of Life

Questions for you to think about before reading. 

1.       Have you ever argued with your family?

I think that we all have argued with our family, whether it’s our father, mother, cousins, siblings, aunts or uncles and even our grandparents.  We all have minds of our own and don’t always feel the same about everything and sometimes things will get out of control and then arguments will erupt.  Not saying that arguing is a good thing but it’s nothing out of the norms.

2.       Have you ever been hurt after learning a secret?

Yes, I have been hurt after learning a secret.  Secrets hurt a lot after you find out because people play with someone’s feelings because you might trust someone while they are doing things behind your back.  I think that any kind of secret that is kept from you is going to hurt you unless it’s a secret to surprise you with a gift or party.

3.       Have you ever just wanted to get away from everything-- drop all the stresses in your life, get in your car and drive?

I have to say yes and many times because sometimes you feel overwhelmed with everything that is going around whether its school, work, volunteer work, or even your family.  Although, many will judge you if you tell them that you feel that but only the person going through the stress knows the feeling.

4.       Do you think possessions buy happiness?

No, possessions do not buy happiness.  Possessions will only give you happiness when you first have possession of it but after a few days that happiness vanishes and you’re at point zero again.  If you have happiness without possessions means that a smile from your kids will bring you satisfaction and happiness.

5.       Do you think people are mostly good?  Do you think people are mostly fake?

I think that in today’s society there’s 50/50.  Fifty percent that are mostly good and honest and fifty percent that are mostly fake and dishonest.  I can’t say that there’s not good or bad because society has to be balanced with all types of characteristics of people.

6.       Have you ever tested yourself, taken yourself to the limit?

No, I can’t say that I have tested myself to the limit because I’m too afraid of risks.

7.       Are you afraid of dying?  Or are you afraid of dying with ever having truly lived?

I have to say that yes I’m afraid of dying because I think of my daughters and the fact of leaving them to suffer my absence.  I fear the pain that my mother will suffer and probably the rest of my family.  Yes, I’m also afraid of dying without ever having truly lived because I have things that I want to accomplish in life and dying isn’t on my list yet.

Based on these questions, I suppose that the main character of this story will have some this issues that are pretty common in anyones life.  Because I really don't think that there's a family that doesn't have arguments.  I also believe that the majority of the people in one way or another have that fear of dying.
