Something every person should think about. Unusual questions that make you think

Most people have never asked themselves these questions. And if they asked, they did not try to find a truthful answer. It's not even about the answer itself, but about the search for it. Each of these questions can lead you to think about yourself and the world around you, even if you don’t find the answer. They can move someone from their dead point and make them think about things they usually don’t want to think about.

The order of the questions has no special significance, I published them in the order in which they came to mind. Although several questions that follow each other can be logically connected. There is no need to get hung up on formulating the question and finding an answer to it. First of all, you must start thinking, reflecting, and this is the main task that I put into this article. Therefore, there is no need to look for any hidden meaning in the wording. Just think.

I warn you, many questions are uncomfortable, they can hurt your pride, make you think about something unpleasant, but you need to ask yourself them, because many problems cannot be simply ignored. And it’s better to ask yourself now, think carefully and come to some decision, than to reap the consequences of misconceptions and wrong choice Then.

Even if these questions give rise to unpleasant feelings, the purpose of these questions is not to upset you, but to encourage you to take certain actions. Don't get used to problems, but find solutions to them! I asked and ask myself many of these questions, and they help me get to know myself more deeply and, using this knowledge, move on. If you are not confident in your moral strength or suffer from depression, then it is better to skip this article, since in this case, the questions may plunge you into despondency.

If I understand that it is difficult for me to communicate with some people, then I think about how to avoid this.
If I understand that I am lazy, then I think about how to strengthen discipline.

In general, I am determined to solve the problem, and not to simply lower my head and meekly accept the circumstances. I want you to be tuned in too.

How to answer questions?

You don't have to answer everything at once. You may have to think carefully. Do not rush to immediately answer the question; it may turn out to be a template answer due to stereotypes that have developed in your thinking. These stereotypes are designed to simplify your thinking and protect your pride from the possibility of self-accusation. They work instantly, offering you the most psychologically “comfortable” answer. But such an answer does not mean an honest one. So take time to reflect, try to get to the bottom of it, and be as honest with yourself as possible. Return to the article if necessary.

Hint: Most problems lie within yourself, not within yourself. outside world. And these problems can be solved by working on yourself.

You can also find some tips by following the links that I will provide in the post.

Some questions include a statement. For example, “why do you smoke?” If you do not smoke, skip the question; this does not apply to you. The same applies to all similar questions.

Some questions may puzzle some, but leave others indifferent. This is fine. It is impossible to predict in advance which path your chain of thinking will take and what will attract your attention.

If you've been a parent for years, you've probably realized that you simply can't have all the answers to parenting. Nobody has them! However, it is very important not to stop and continue to ask questions - questions that force us to think, face our fears and doubts, and help us better understand what we really want.

This article presents twenty questions that every parent should think about. As you read them, remember that there are no right or wrong answers. These are just tips that will help you think about something important, better prepare for the need for choice and all sorts of difficult situations that we often encounter in life. Consider each question slowly.

1. Do you want your children to be rich or happy when they grow up?

Of course, ideally we want both. But what if you had to choose? What would be your choice? Mansions, expensive cars, fashionable things and a box of antidepressants or a modest life filled with sincere smiles?

2. How often do you say “I love you” for no reason?

When answering this question, think not only about your children, but also about your spouse. How often do you say, “I love you,” without expecting anything in return or using it as an apology?

3. Is crying a sign of strength or weakness?

Should you keep everything to yourself or is it better to let your emotions out? When you see someone crying, do you offer to help or just look away? What about your children?

4. What recent activity as a family made you forget about time?

You spend enough time with each other to build deep family relationships, or are you constantly rushing from one thing to another? Is there enough time in your schedule to enjoy each other's company?

5. If your friend talked to you the way you talk to your children, would you still be friends with him?

6. Is being a parent a privilege or a burden?

Do you consider your position as a parent a blessing or a disadvantage? (Just FYI: Millions of women around the world suffer from infertility!)

7. Would you rather your children never make mistakes or never try anything new?

Is failure a shame or a learning opportunity? Is it possible to live life to the fullest and not try anything new? If your children don't learn to try new things and feel comfortable in your presence, where else can they learn to do so?

8. What makes you so unique? What about your spouse and children?

No two people are exactly alike. Do you know what makes you unique? Did you accept it? What about the rest of your family? Do you love each other exactly as you are, despite all the flaws?

9. Are you holding on to something that needs to be let go?

You can't go far carrying the burden of your past. The way we raise children is most influenced by our past. What do you need to let go of?

10. If someone made a film about your family, what title would you give it?

Will this film be filled with emotions of joy and hope, or will it plunge viewers into an atmosphere of darkness and despair? Will it be memorable or will it fly out of your head immediately after watching it? Will it be a simple story or an intricate epic?

11. Who writes the history of your family?

Do you live according to the script dictated by circumstances, or do you write your own brilliant and unique narrative?

12. If you had all the money you want and a little more, what would you do with your life?

You probably don't have that much money, but can you carve out some time in your schedule to do something that your soul requires and do it simply because you love it?

13. For all of us, a day consists of 24 hours. Why do some people manage to do much more during this time than others?

On the one hand we have the brave and active dreamers who are changing the world. On the other hand, there are us who have difficulty coping with our affairs. What makes our perception of time so different from those people's?

14. How well do you sleep?

There is plenty of research linking sleep quality and our quality of life (and health). You sacrifice sleep for productivity, success and money (which leads to high level stress)?

15. Do you learn from your mistakes or reproach yourself for them?

What about the mistakes your spouse and children make? Can you think of anyone who has never made a mistake? Maybe showing mercy and kindness is the best option?

16. If you died suddenly, how would your children remember you? What do you want them to remember about you?

Anything can happen in life. And it’s better to think about it now, before it’s too late.

17. If death offered you ten additional years life, but away from your family and without any possibility of communication with your loved ones, would you agree to such a deal?

What if you couldn't be there for your loved ones, but you knew what was going on in their lives? What if you had no way of even knowing how they were doing? What if they all left and you were left alone on earth?

I often write here, but then I came across an interesting text and wanted to translate it. And translated :)

    While most people are comfortable within their beliefs, there are some who are interested in exploring the true nature of things. These are the people who have discovered the power of deep thinking, driven by curiosity with an almost unlimited desire to know the truth.

    Thinking deeply will help you broaden your perspective and see the big picture and can enrich your life.

    Here are some deep thought-provoking questions to ask yourself:

    1. What lies beyond the observable Universe?

    We know that our solar system is part of a huge galaxy. We also know that there are approximately 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the “close proximity” of Earth. This is what scientists call the observable universe.

    But what lies beyond what is observable?

    There are even more galaxies and these galaxies go on forever? Are these galaxies part of one universe, or are they part of many other universes? In this regard, the question arises: is our Universe all that is and we live in?
    Is the universe/multiverse just incredibly big or is it infinite?

    2. What happened before the big bang?

    Theory big bang describes how the universe came into being. This is a model that seeks to understand how the universe expands rapidly from a high-density state.

    For scientists, the big bang marks the beginning of everything. But what happened before the big bang? Nothing? What caused the singularity - that is, the birth of the Universe?

    3. Are there more than three dimensions?

    The question of why we live in a Universe with three visible dimensions is a thought-provoking question in itself. However, it also raises the possibility that there are more than three dimensions.

    Daily life shows us that we clearly live in a world with three dimensions. Height, depth and width influence everything we do. But is there something more than what we see?

    The Theory of Everything suggests that there may be more dimensions—much more. Interestingly enough, when string theory is applied to the nine spatial dimensions, everything starts to vibrate. All mathematical theories suggest that the fabric of the Universe would fall apart without these nine or more dimensions.

    4. Is your perception of reality similar to someone else’s experience of reality?

    Of course, we all live perfectly different lives. We all grew up completely different conditions and we have different opinions about almost everything.

    But what's really interesting is the question: do we all perceive reality in the same way?

    For example, due to various differences in our brains, each of us perceives colors differently. Of course, we all know what a red or yellow T-shirt looks like. But does everyone perceive this particular color the same way? Hardly.

    At the same time, everything we experience in life is not interpreted objectively. Instead, the events of the world are always subjectively interpreted by our brain. Based on our attitudes, beliefs, and the culture in which we grew up, we can perceive similar experience completely different.

    5. How did life arise and evolve on Earth?

    Today, science is trying to explain how life developed on planet Earth. Scientists have a good understanding of human evolution, but how life itself arose remains one of the greatest mysteries.

    If you've ever heard of evolution, you'll know that the earth was formed through frequent collisions with other celestial bodies about 4.5 billion years ago. Back then it was a molten and highly toxic planet. Her environment was so toxic that she simply could not support any life. But how is it possible that life could arise from nothing? What caused initial development life?

    Scientists know approximately when life began, but they cannot yet answer the question of how life began. The origin of life remains largely unknown fact. There are certain hypotheses, but there is no clear answer.

    6. Is there life after death?

    The question of whether there is life after death is perhaps the greatest mystery of all. Although we all have certain opinions about the concept of death, no one knows for sure. Some people firmly believe in an afterlife, while others are equally convinced that there is nothing after death at all. We may not know until we go through this.

    7. What is the nature of reality?

    Some of the greatest minds have thought and are thinking deeply about the nature of reality. This is the highest philosophical question, which cannot be answered so easily. For centuries, men and women have tried to understand life, consciousness and reality. But only a few have found convincing answers.

    Is life really just a physical manifestation of matter and energy? Or is reality entirely a psychic manifestation?

    If life is completely physical, it can only be explored empirically - scientific method. However, if there are also psychic aspects of reality, introspection can be another way of research.

    8. Why do the Sun and Moon appear to be the same size?

    We know that the Sun is significant bigger than the moon. However, when viewed from Earth, the Sun and Moon appear to be about the same size.

    The reason for this is that the Sun is about 400 times larger than the Moon, but at the same time about 400 times farther away. As a consequence, the Sun appears to be the same size as the Moon.

    But isn't it strange coincidence that the Sun is 400 times larger and 400 times farther away? Is this just a coincidence or a suggestive question?

    9. Is there life in other galaxies?

    For most scientists, the question is not “if,” but rather “where.” What's even more interesting is thinking about what kind of life there might be.

    Do other organisms, such as microbes and bacteria, exist on planets in distant galaxies? And is it possible that there is also intelligent life? What would these intelligent beings from distant galaxies look like?

    10. Do you shape your own destiny?

    Another interest Ask for reflection - the theme of fate. Do you think that you are in control of your destiny or do you believe that your future is already formed and you are simply moving along the path outlined by someone or something?

    If we look at human evolution, we will see that there has been continuous progress over the past centuries. Of course there have been ups and downs, but there is no denying that there have been significant improvements.

    In this technological age, however, it is interesting to ponder whether people really get better with each generation? This question is not so much aimed at scientific and technological progress. He focuses more on human qualities and behavior. Have we really evolved over the decades? Were our ancestors morally and intellectually less gifted than us?

    12. Has human morality been studied?

    Where does morality come from? Is this what we absorb from our families, friends and teachers? Or is it something innate that lies within us?

    13. Is life better now than in the past?

    When we take a superficial look at this issue, we may come to the conclusion that life now is much better than, for example, 50, 200 or even a thousand years ago. However, this judgment is based mainly on achievements in various areas, such as technology, healthcare, human rights and ease of living.

    But if we subtract these achievements from our consideration, is modern life much better than in the past? Are we happier today than people 50 years ago? Are we leading more fulfilling and meaningful lives?

    Is it possible that our ancestors were also happy with their lives, despite much harsher conditions?

    14. What will the Apocalypse look like?

    Scientists keep telling us that the Sun will eventually run out of the hydrogen that powers it. Once this point is reached, he will die. But before that happens, it will begin to expand until it eventually destroys everything left on Earth.

    It's actually interesting to think about how the Apocalypse will happen. Will it be 5 billion years from now, or will humans have settled in other galaxies by then? Perhaps the Apocalypse is much closer than many may think. Perhaps people will cause some kind of apocalyptic events or will asteroids contribute to this?

    15. Will humans never be able to populate other planets?

    While non-believers and believers are firmly convinced of their beliefs, it is not so easy or even impossible to find a definitive answer to the question.

    Either way, it's equally interesting to ponder: did the world simply emerge from ingenious coincidences, or is there some kind of “sovereign power” that set it all in motion?

    18. What's worse: failing or not even trying?

What will we strive for when we know everything?

    26. Is it possible to do something wrong if no one knows?

    In most cases, what keeps us from doing bad things is the fear of being exposed and punished. But if no one knows about your immoral act, would it be okay to commit it?
