Would you want to be friends, or housemates, with yourself?

Absolutely. That would be fantastic!

Think of how much more I/we would get done in a day. Plus, I love my own cooking. And if I'm out of an important ingredient, I could send myself out to the store and trust that I'd come back with exactly the right thing.

Do you think our culture is progressing or declining?

I suppose it depends on what side of the window you're on. What we really should be asking ourselves is are we happy or even comfortable with where it's moving, if it is at all.

It's hard for me to feel that invested in what the question presupposes is "our" culture. The predominant culture in the U.S. is not really mine in terms of social or personal values, but I live here. So if the question is "do I like what I'm seeing in the culture I live in," usually the answer is no. I'll create my own instead, thanks.

What one person have you learned the most from in life?

Posted on Aug 23rd, 2007 by Evolotus : PR Bodhisattvas Evolotus

It's trite, but it's Mom. After all, moms are our very first teachers, and usually the most influential (for better or for worse). I wouldn't love and appreciate myself like I do if she hadn't loved and appreciated me first! In addition to the higher lessons (don't judge people) and the more mundane (don't wear silver and gold jewelry together), I've also learned what I don't want to be through witnessing her mistakes, not that I don't make some of them anyway. Have I thanked her recently? Not in so many words, but we're close friends and that's more than I can say for many mother/daughter dyads I know.

What's the most difficult question you've had to answer?

Why do you take it upon yourself? Why is it your responsibility? Why is it any of your business? What's it to you?

What's the best job in the world?

Posted on Aug 28th, 2007 by Evolotus : PR Bodhisattvas Evolotus

The "best" and "most noble/admirable" are not necessarily the same. I think I have the "best" job in the world...for me. I help conscious businesses and people gain publicity and mindshare for their work so that they can in turn be more effective, reach a wider audience, and make a bigger difference in the world.

For me this is the "right livelihood" as specified in the Eightfold Path.
