It's your turn now...

I’ve got questions and I want answers

CONTEMPLATION

My dear readers,

I have now published over 170 writings on this blog. It seems that contemplating and writing leads to more contemplating and writing. Since starting this little project, I have covered a large number of topics in various genres. The list of issues I still intend to cover is growing faster than I can publish them, so it looks like I’ll still be doing this for quite a while.

I have certainly written my fair share, so now it’s your turn :)

Below, I will share three questions on topics I have been pondering. I would love to hear your personal thoughts on these matters. Pick one or more questions, head over to "Contact," and tell me what you think. You can write in English or German. Your answer can be one line or an entire essay. You can share your name and email address if you would like me to respond, or you can stay anonymous by using a cool pen name and entering chiselandfeather@gmail.com as your email address.

If you prefer, you can also just shoot me an email with your thoughts. My address is chiselandfeather@gmail.com.

Without further ado, let’s get into the questions…

Question number one: Truth

Do you think there is an objective reality called “Truth”? If so, is it inherently valuable, and should one strive to align one's life with it? Why? Or why not? How does your perspective on Truth impact your daily life?

Question number two: Fear

What role does fear play in your life? How does it manifest itself in your decisions and actions? How is it best to deal with fear, based on your understanding? Is it ever good to act out of fear? How do you personally deal with fear?

Question number three: Happiness

Is happiness a goal worthy of pursuit? If so, then why is it worthy of pursuit, and how do you think it can be achieved? If you do not believe happiness to be a worthy pursuit, why not, and what should be prioritized over it? How does your perspective on happiness impact your daily life?

I know that these are big and important questions. Feel free to answer them to the extent you can or want to. I am genuinely interested in hearing your reply.

In anticipation of your carrier pigeon arriving soon,

Coren
