Who’s the happiest person on earth and who’s the unhappiest?

the unhappiest human being is the (wo)man who has no more expectations  from or questions about the universe and the happiest is not the one who already knows it all, but the one who has someone to ask all her/his questions, especially the important one.
Do you always want your friends to tell you the truth?

No. I want them to tell me the truth if I’m about to do something I might regret or if they know something that’s important for me to know in regards of my future. 
I don’t want them to be honest when I need acknowledgment or maybe a compliment, I don’t want them to tell me that I look ugly, when I feel beautiful or to tell me that my nose is imperfect, when they could tell me white lies instead, so I still feel good about myself.


Does reality exist? Or is it a concept that humanity made up?

Everyone has their one reality and we all live in a world with multiple realities. 
The difficult part is to find people who share your perspective or who contribute to your world with another point of view without labeling your reality as wrong.


What makes someone happy?

The knowledge of who you are, what you want and how you can achieve it


When is it love?

 when isn’t it love? It always should be love, instead of hate. 
Why wait to love someone when you can start now? 
Love them before you get to know them, love them before you’ve met them, love them as a matter of principle and just for the sake of it. It’s never too early to start loving someone and never to late to keep on loving. There’s always space for negative feelings later on.


Do you believe in god?

No but I wish I could


What do you believe in? 

hope

 the lives of strangers

Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Sometimes never trying prevents you from having the traumatic scars of failure, sometimes never trying means keeping the dream alive without killing it with reality
 .

If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

Because life isn’t short, it’s the longest period of time a human being can experience.
And that means that we have to do stuff we hate to be able to do stuff we like. Sometimes we don’t have as much time as we thought we would and we did all the boring stuff and never tried the fun one.


If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

Our school system would be different, education shorter and all the teenagers would be running around searching for a partner to mate with. so...basically i'd do everything exactly the same.

I’m more worried about doing the right thing, I always think about different opportunities, but never start doing anything. 


You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire.  They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend.  The criticism is distasteful and unjustified.  What do you do?

Talk with them about it, tell them what I think and see how they react. If they still behave disrespectful, I’d leave and look for new people to admire


If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?

Coping with daily live, I get so fucking stressed out by just existing, nevermind eating, talking or actually doing stuff outside

Everyone has a different concept of happiness and that diversity is important, otherwise there would be many jobs no one would like to do and everyone would be doing the same thing


What one thing have you not done that you really want to do?  What’s holding you back?

No, but for some people that might give them a sense of control, even if they don’t have any over the speed of an elevator.

I’d give up everything,every piece of intelligence, good looks, talent and creativity I own so I could just be happy

Has your greatest fear ever come true?

I’m not sure, everytime something I feared happened, my mind shifted and my biggest fear became something different, something unreachable, until I reached it again. in general one of my biggest fears are drowning and losing control - i've already been too long underwater twice and needed to be saved and i've lost control over things multiple times

Everything

Decisions are being made right now.  The question is:  Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?

Neither one. I wish someone else would just tell me what to do, what’s best for me and I could stop worrying
