Obviously there are no right or wrong answers to a purely philosophical discussion like this. We all want different things, expect different things, believe different things.
ReplyDeleteIf someone asked you a series of questions today, would you give the same answers you might have given a year ago? Five years ago? Ten years ago?
These six questions are known as "The Anna Questions" which were asked by Russian filmmaker Nikita Mikhalkov of his daughter Anna each year from the time she was six until she was 17. He documented each asking and answering in a film simply entitled "Anna."
This was done during the time of the Soviet Union, and, as Anna grew older, she began to express apprehension that perhaps one should not be asking such questions.
Here is a film review of that documentary, if you would like more information about the experiment.
1. A big glass of Pinotage and crackers.
ReplyDelete2. Obligation and Prison Break at the moment.
3. Lung cancer and big bottle of Pinotage.
4. A better treatment for cancer than chemo.
5. Success.
6. Two mud huts and barefoot, runny-nosed children running after a passing aeroplane and asking it to bring sweets.
I haven't been here in a while and I find an assignment.
ReplyDeleteNo time at the moment to take the test. Perhaps I will at a later date, but probably not.
What's with all the short posts?
Thank you for the information on the gig line, I immediately told the husband he was wrong. Priceless.
No wrong answers, no right answers. I don't know why I did this.
ReplyDelete---------
So give him a gig and make him work it off washing dishes. Or something.
1. Compassion
ReplyDelete2. Fear-Hate (a certain brand of hate)
3. War
4. A caramel macciato
5. Purpose
6. My own peace of mind
Shakespeare, I've been thinking and I can't argue with any of your answers!
ReplyDeleteA remarkable set of questions to ask a six year old. Some of them I can see could be interpreted by a six year old in a six year old way, but, "What do you expect from life?", What does homeland mean to you?"? In a way, it's a shame that he stopped at the age of 17 because that's when the answers might have changed as horizons start to widen.
ReplyDeleteI so hate introspection.
ReplyDeleteAnyway - here goes:
1. My hubby
2. Working
3. Regret
4. Someone to refill my wine glass so I don't have to get up.
5. Not sure but I don't think this was it.
6. 2 thoughts - where I am from, and "homeland security." I really don't care much for either.
