Share Your World 32

Which would you prefer:  a wild, turbulent life filled with joy, sorrow, passion, and adventure–intoxicating successes and stunning setbacks; or a contented bordering on happy, secure, predictable life surrounded by friends and family without such wide swings of fortune and mood? How about both? I lived an adventurous, passionate life filled with joy and passion and I loved almost every minute of it. I would repeat all of it if I could. Now I am more on a happy, predictable life path and I am content because I had so much of the other life.

Would you like to be famous?  In what way? In no ways I would want to be famous. It is a sad life the famous one.

If you could cure one disease, what would that be? cancer.

If you were invisible, where would you go? I would go to observe animals’ behavior. It would be so wonderful!  I would see baby animals playing and feeding, and adult animals’ courting rituals. I would not go where humans think they are alone because I truly believe people privacy is sacred.

When I was a little girl, my mom kept telling me, like many moms do, to “always be good, don’t argue with your friends, don’t say bad words. If you do, the guardian angel will tell me”…***dramatic music***…

As I grew older my mom worried when I became a little rebellious, so she began to snoop around my stuff and places where I hung out with my friends. I think she meant well [it was right after the 60’s after all], but she was so good at snooping that I always felt watched upon. Add a little paranoia after seeing 007 movie complete with secret gadgets,  I almost convinced myself there were cameras installed everywhere…. 🙂
