Questions to start 2009

Questions on my mind to start the year:

How many days, hours, minutes, seconds will you waste?
How many excuses will you make?
How many times will fear stop you from taking action?
How many times will you put your interests behind those of all others present?
How many times will you act from assumptions?
How many times will you protect others from who you are?
How many times will you choose the easy instead of the right for you?
How many times will you sell yourself short?
How many times will you not take care of yourself?
How many times will you hide your human traits?
How many times will you degrade yourself?
How many times will you accept the actions of others?
How many times will you gravitate towards ambiguity over clarity?
How many times will you beat yourself up for past actions?
How many times can you sacrifice?
How will you know if time is wasted?
How will you know if a justification is worthwhile?
How will you what fear would have saved you from?
How will you know if your assumptions are correct?
How will you know who deserves or needs protection most?
How will you know what is healthiest for you?
How will you know how much you are worth?
How will you know when to share yourself with the world?
How will you know what the effects of your actions will be?
How will you know how to judge others?
How will you know what is best or right?
How will you know what the future holds?
How will you know the outcome of your choices?
How will you live with your past actions?
Who are you?

How much time do you have to answer these questions?

Oh, the humanity. Oh, the humanity.
