Answer a Question with a Question...

[Kaila]

Do we all care, when it is someone in particular, or in some situations,
but not care as much, if at all, when it is in some other situations, or at other times, or with other individuals?

In other words, does it depend?

 

[Rosemarie]

Have you ever had anyone tell lies about you, to besmirch your reputation?

 

[Kaila]

As much as we wish it weren't, isn't tht fairly common?

 

[Rosemarie]

It's not hard to understand why some of us choose not to get involved with other people, is it?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you happily live on a desert Island as long as you had access to mod cons, but no people ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Would one lose the ability to speak with no-one to talk to?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you imagine if you don't verbalise for a long period, that you would have difficulty stringing a sentence together ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is that what happened to Robinson Crusoe?

 

[Kaila]

Wouldn't you continue to "practice" speaking aloud,
to yourself or to your surroundings, if there were no people nearby for a lengthy time period?

 

[Rosemarie]

If you were stranded on a desert island, would you make a pet of one of the wild animals?

 

[mike4lorie]

do you wanna be stranded on an island?

 

[hollydolly]

Have you ever lived on an Island ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Do you ever fantasize about being stranded on an island and try to imagine how you would cope?

 

[mike4lorie]

what is there to cope with if on an island by yourself?

 

[Rosemarie]

Don't you know that most people can't bear the thought of being totally alone?

 

[Kaila]

I would definitely make friends with everything I possibly could, in that situation, including plants, animals, birds ….Would any of you do that? And Which would you value more, as "companions" … the animals or the plants there?

 

[hollydolly]

For me it would be the animals, I like animals way more than most people, ..anyone else?

 

[Kaila]

For me, yes, the animals, and also the birds, I like birds more than some animals (the scary biting ones) ...anyone else?

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, it seems we are all of a mind in this respect. What do you think you would miss most in that situation?

 

[hollydolly]

Would any of you miss books as I would ?

 

[Kaila]

I would definitely miss books! But would I miss them, less than, or more than, you would?

 

[hollydolly]

How could we tell ?

 

[Kaila]

Are you crying merely at the thought and mention, of missing your books?

 

[hollydolly]

What makes you think I'm crying ?

 

[Kaila]

Wasn't that a good way, I thought of, to determine which of us would most miss our books?
