    Let's say you met God, or some higher being, or some super-computer machine thingy-majig, and you could ask it any one question. Whatever the question was, the answer would be the truth. You could ask ANYTHING from the past, present, or future.
    What would your question be?

    My question would be "What am I supposed to do?"
    I'm 25 and a fully qualified tradesman but not happy with it. I've done an evening course that I thought would be the start of something new and exciting, but it turned out to be totally not what I wanted or expected.
    I was in the process of starting my own business but that has been put n hold for the time being.
    I literally have no idea what I want to do with my life, career-wise. So I'd be in desperate need of a bit of direction in that department.

    So what would you ask?


    In before next weeks lotto numbers...


    And in before this:
    The Preisdent of the Kwik-E-Mart: Welcome, my friends. You may ask any three questions.
    Homer: Are you really the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?
    The Preisdent of the Kwik-E-Mart: Yes.
    Homer: Really?
    The Preisdent of the Kwik-E-Mart: Yes.
    Homer: Really?
    The Preisdent of the Kwik-E-Mart: Yes. Thank you, come again.

    Yeah, why not?!
    If I'm gonna have to work at something 40 hours a week for the next 40 years, I figure I might aswell do something I like. It's such a big part of your life and if what I'm currently doing is depressing me and I can't figure out what it is I want to do, then I need a bit of help with it.

    If I could ask God one thing, it would be why am I speaking to an imaginary friend beyond the age of 5?

    You meet an almighty, all knowing being, can ask it any question in the world, past, present or future. You could inquire into the deepest recesses of the human psyche; why we are here? What is our purpose? Or ask about the furthest reaches of the Universe; are we alone? Is it possible to live forever....so many possibilities. Yet you would still just ask for career advice? If there ever is a point whereby we have to present one man to go forth and question this being, sorry mate it won't be you. Ask a career advisor, not God.

    I'd ask him to tell me everything that will happen and has happened throughout the history of the entire universe.

    He could just say "no", but it'd be worth a shot!

    What is ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 220 ✭✭DramaQuee


    What are we all really talking about anyway, has it any relevance with the REAL thing or are we just like birds chattering? Is what we're looking for the answer to in a language we understand? Or is language the wrong way to go about it? Maybe we should flutter the question, or dream it, or grow it through our hair follicles to be understood.
