Answer a Question with a Question...

Would you think Samuel Pepys diaries should have been secret?

 

[Rosemarie]

Didn't he intend them to be published?

 

[hollydolly]

Did you know that pepys diaries were originally private?

 

[Rosemarie]

No, what else do you know that I don't?

 

[Kaila]

IF I have a secret diary (I'm not saying if I do )
then after my death, could anyone who finds it, have it published?

 

[Gemma]

Would it be juicy enough to bring in millions of dollars if it were published?

 

[hollydolly]

Could I have a percentage if I was your agent and for suggesting you might get it printed?

 

[Kaila]

Should we compare ALL of our diaries (IF we have any; we aren't saying)
and then decide which is juiciest and therefore most lucrative?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you show me yours if I showed you mine

 

[Rosemarie]

Who else was afraid to keep a diary in case mum peeped at it while you were at school?

 

[Kaila]

Would we know now, if anyone we lived with, did peep at it or not?

(that is, IF we had one; i'm still not sayin' )

 

[Rosemarie]

Do you think they could resist mentioning something you had written?

 

[hollydolly]

My father found my diary and he mocked me for my writing , I was a teen and very upset, would you have been if the same had happened to you?

 

[Kaila]

wouldn't we all feel badly from an experience like that?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is a journalist so-called because they keep a journal?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you think originally that's how they got that title ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Sounds logical but why are news reporters called journalists?

 

[Kaila]

Is it because they give daily updates, as a personal journal might do?

 

[hollydolly]

Very possibly that could be the answer, but then would we say that a journalist could also be a columnist as well ?

 

[Kaila]

Then if we call someone a journalist, (or columnist)
due to their periodically writing or saying something,
then couldn't ALL of us be called one, and aren't we all journalists, then?

 

[hollydolly]

I think that's a possibility in theory, do you also think that by the same token everyone who takes photos could also be a photographer...?

 

[Kaila]

And would anyone who has ever sold anything, also be a salesperson?

 

[Rosemarie]

Does this mean we can all add these professions to our profiles?

 

[Kaila]

Could we also add them to our resume's , which would make them several pages longer, or would any of us ever be writing another resume at all anyway?

 

[Rosemarie]

Would anyone take them seriously?
