Complete the 50 Questions that will free your mind

Would you break the law to save a loved one?
Absolutely. Especially if it was a silly law and what I was doing wasn’t hurting anyone else. Probably also if it did hurt someone but they never knew it. (Pretty morally lax, but true.)
If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
I would stop striving for things in my career. Although I’ve come 97% of the way towards my ultimate career goal, I think if I knew I’d die in 5 years, I’d drop the questing for the 3%. Enjoy the part I do have, not sweat the small stuff. Take even more vacations, be nicer to people, help other people more. Stop being so grabby: after all pretty soon I won’t need anything anyways. Be more accepting of my husband’s flaws. See beauty in the world every day instead of just sometimes. Accept my body.
Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?
More worried about doing things right (see above). If I only lived to 40, it’d be damn time to shut down the voices in my head (my mother, my mean Russian violin teacher from teen years) and just get on with it already. Agonizing and feeling bad is helping no one.
What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
I sleep a lot, and purposefully schedule leisure time. To read, take trips. Luckily I have this luxury, which not having kids helps with! (but this was a conscious choice not to have kids.) But I still know plenty of people (childless and with plenty of money) who still work too much. Plus it helps as I’m in a creative field so I justify the rest by needing it to recharge my creativity! :-D
Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?
I do push it more than once. Although I know it doesn’t make it move faster, it makes me feel like I am doing something and not standing there completely helpless at the whims of a mechanical device (although I know I am.)
Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
A joyful simpleton. Joy is what I would like more of in my life. Not brains. Of course the challenge is being joyful without giving up your mental faculties. A work in progress.
