If You Were A Tree, What Kind Of Tree Would You Be?

I’d be me…

I love the fascination that some people have with asking questions that have no bearing in reality to delve into who a person is. Instead of using communication and finding out who a person really is, what they believe in, there are people who will turn to these questions–questions that do not truly give you an insight to who this person is.

When we ask questions, they should be based in reality. There should be a clear objective. I don’t want to know what kind of tree someone would be (nor do I want to think about what kind I would be… I’m not a tree nor will I be one, so it’s just a waste of my time.). I want to know what someone thinks morality is. I don’t want to know what someone would think if they were a rock (You got me.. someone actually asked me that), I want to know their views on sex.

It is more important to me to find out the core of a person’s beliefs and values (and, oh my, maybe even learn something in the process about myself and my beliefs) than ask nonsensical questions that provide us with no real information and no real understanding of ourselves, our world, and our reality.
