Personally, I try to stay away from questions like these… and I’ll tell you why.
I don’t like the idea of making an assumption as to what most people might be thinking, feeling, or even understanding… how should I know what most people don’t understand?! I don’t know most people, in fact, I know very few people on such a personal level that I would feel remotely confident in answering for them.
Anytime that I assume what another thinks and feels, or worse yet, what kind of person they are without first getting to know them… well, it’s like flirting with disaster!
With that said, I’ll pass on this prompt, but not without leaving you some cookies…
I feel more confident in guessing that you’ll want one.
I almost used the song off that children’s show, Barney, where they repeatedly sing “the list goes on and on my friend.” I decided not to go down that musical rabbit hole, as I’ve work to do this morning. I chose, instead to offer up myself for this lovely prompt inquiry that rolled off the WordPress rolodex.
Before you start thinking this might be a negative, let me assure you that it’s not! It’s an impossibility for a soul to know everything about everybody!
Besides, I don’t want most people to understand me, rather, I would prefer just a few souls that really desire to know the real me… the one beneath the surface.
As there have only been 2 takers on this offer, for many years now, I am a patient person, in this regard. The ones who stand the test of time, weather the storms, and invest the effort, I will greet with open arms. The thing is, my arms are only so long, therefore, any interested parties have to actually draw near enough to participate!
One thing is for sure, I do know that most of the people at WordPress have no clue about how to offer a decent prompt question, nor do they understand the writers to whom they pose these ridiculous questions. Maybe they should assign someone from their corporate office to answer the questions each day, same as us! I bet the questions would change in a hot minute!
Here, eat some cookies, but don’t eat the one in the middle cause it’d be weird …
