    A Dragon without a fiery breath for sure! Ditto on your answer.

    Would you rather be a beautiful flower for a day or an ugly root for all time?
    And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
    Dropping from the veils of the mourning to where the cricket sings;
    There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
    And evening full of the linnet's wings.

    Smile

    Fame, like the beautiful flower, lasts for a brief time. But someone with integrity enough to stand and hold firm like the root, ugly though it may be, will be remembered forever. I will choose to be the ugly root, to stand for what I believe, to help anyone I can and may my legacy be only this: "He never once gave up on himself or anyone else."

    Would you seek for knowledge when faced with the unknown or simply deny it exists?

    In a very brief time, that is how I've come to know you, Uncle Pen! That comes out really well and clear enough for it to be your legacy.

    You could never deny knowledge even if it is hiding behind the walls, but I believe that it is its coming out would there have been any significance to realize and ponder on it. I have fallen a victim to that and did what I had to do: deliberated and eventually, fully understood and learned from it.

    Would you work at a library voluntarily or become as rich as Trump (ofcourse. not the attitude)?

    I promise to create a much better query..

    I did work at a library as a volunteer because I thought it would help get hired full-time in the library. However, it was grunt work, pushing giant carts of books around and shelving them and I couldn't imagine having a full-time job doing just that, all day long. If I were as rich as Trump, I imagine I could spend more time reading for leisure at the library as opposed to toiling away all day to take home a piddly pay-check.

    Would you buy something you didn't really need just because it happened to be on sale?

    Depends on wat it is.. but most probably yes... I mean... who can resista SALE!!! I'll just give it to someone else...

    Would you exact revenge on someone you hate, making them go to hell IF you were to go to hell as well when you die?

    Nah. Hate's not "me."

    Same question.

    Exclamation

    I wrote these lines in a poem once:
    "When a man seeks for vengeance,
    Thirsts for revenge,
    Spends his whole life in pursuit of a vendetta:
    He can never see that the true victim—
    The final victim—
    Is Himself..."

    Same question

    I do forgive, but I cant forget.....I may not be able to take any revenge, but i'll henceforth deal with the person accordingly.

    Same Q

    Revenge seems like it would be very satisfying but I have never taken revenge on anyone that I thought deserved it (so far). But I do believe that what goes around comes around and isn't there a saying (or a verse in the Bible) that goes something like, "Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord"

    There is also "revenge is a dish best served cold"

    Bide your time, or wait till you cool off, and above all, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

    In the end though, I don't want to go to hell and some good man said that we shoudl turn the other cheek.

    Pass the question
    "...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?

    Revenge is not my thing. I like the line from a movie once said (Gross Point Blank)
    "Forget about forgiving and forgetting. Accept and move on".

    I won't break the thread so keep up answering the same question.
    And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

    People say things but when it comes to the point in life that you have someone to hate... You will do it.. 9/10 times...

    I know I would...

    Having known that I am Hell-bound from a very early age (queer and Catholic); I'm more likely to send people who's company I ENJOY to Hell with me, rather than people I hate.

    Same question.

    I believe every word, Uncle Pen. Spoken out of my mouth. Same goes for me.

    Don't wanna break the thread.

    No, hell is a fictional reality.

    Would you watch an awful match in the rain, without cover, in the winter, if it's an important match for your team?
