Questions 21 - 30

questions 21 - 30.png

  1. Am I really working on raising consciousness or am I just a slave teaching the best ways to stay enslaved to this world online? I am not sure.
  2. Do we already have eternal life right this moment without the need to do anything or have done anything to earn it? That feels like the truth to me.
  3. How do we know if we are truly helping and being of service today? Are upvotes and comments the best way to tell? How about views?
  4. Is the purpose of life to learn how to love? Those with Near Death Experiences or NDEs seem to consistently agree on this point. It feels true to me.
  5. What do I need to do today to love unconditionally in each situation? Keep writing this post or do something else?
  6. Why do we accomplish so much during the day and then go to bed at night feeling like we did not do enough? Still trying to work this one out.
  7. When is it time to stop hustling, end fantasy, and enjoy the future which is today that we worked so hard for yesterday? Am I doing that now or is this just more hustling? At what point is the bank account big enough to just take a day off and not think about it?
  8. Would anyone still follow me if they saw me picking my nose and eating the booger which I could not even spell without spellcheck? After our almost two year old daughter had finished picking a booger and was about to eat it, my wife started to explain about how dirty it was and why she should not eat it. I did not say anything because it seems I am just too lazy to go to the bathroom and try to throw it down the sick and wash my hands. I mean it was in my nose how dirty can it be?
  9. Is it courageous or disgusting to share intimate body details like above? Maybe a bit of both?
  10. Why does the idea of posting naked pictures of myself feel so vulnerable when my body is my most beautiful creation which I have been working on for nearly 34 years? If my friends did it, I probably would too. The world would probably be a happier place if we all felt comfortable being naked. That would be a lot of motivation to make a diet one enjoyed and stick to it. Maybe I should try a nudist colony.

Thank you for reading the next ten questions I have asked in my new series where I share ten questions I think about each day because I hope this helps with feeling connected and raising our collective consciousness to see the big beautiful world we live in! If you would like me to do more of these, would you please upvote this post because I decide what to keep doing based on what you upvote the most?

Love,
Jerry Banfield

at the end of the day, perspective is all that matters

  1. i would suggest we are always a bit of both, internet is an addition if we let it like anything, we just transposing our addictions from other things to take part, you certainly raise questions in people, i believe that to be a healthy thing.
  2. what got you to today was the past, you seem to have an issue with reflection i would say, we do not have eternal life, planet earth will be here when we are not however.
  3. up votes, comments and views tell us nothing about truly helping and being of service, being open, transparent and vulnerable can give you a pretty good indication that you are at least willing to help by allowing others to do the same.
  4. not just learn but to maintain it, to curate it in others and to always be aiming to love harder
  5. i doubt you are loving unconditionally through writing, pausing and spending time with daughter and taking the wife out for a surprise lunch just to relax would help that
  6. i believe this is just because we are constantly wanting to run at max capacity of our abilities, we can see it, shape it, blog about, take part, we will never have enough hours in a day, week or lifetime, get over it already, stop mentally hurting yourself. you can’t change it
  7. if the bills are paid, you have some funds away for your daughter, you see steady growth, minimal debt then you are already winning, take one day off a week regardless, you’ll come back with 10 more better posts
  8. i was bought up that picking your nose was gross, i never questioned it because it seems a fair request. i would suggest you pass that on to your daughter, let her decide when she’s older if it is or not herself!
  9. not courageous at all, jumping out of a helicopter and rescuing someone behind enemy lines is courageous.
  10. it seems that your addictive personality still requires input. if you wanna go naked, go for it! :)

These are great questions @jerrybanfield. Great post as well.
This is the reality of this platform, we all need to absorb and challenge ourselves just like you did.
Keep on steemit !!

I really like the questions! How did you come up with them, where they from your followers, or something you thought up yourself?

👍👌

Naked chicks are hot, naked dudes are funny. I know pisses me off too.

😂😂😁

An interesting questions that stimulates the brain and mind, thanks

Nice work, is good to ask questions sometimes, it helps in redirecting one opinion over a given issue. Weldon

"Why does the idea of posting naked pictures of myself feel so vulnerable when my body is my most beautiful creation which I have been working on for nearly 34 years? If my friends did it, I probably would too. The world would probably be a happier place if we all felt comfortable being naked. That would be a lot of motivation to make a diet one enjoyed and stick to it. Maybe I should try a nudist colony."

I think about this often. In regards to digital privacy sometimes I think we'd all be better of without it. If everyone's nude photos were made public no one would care. There'd be millions of people you could see nude, literally any of your friends you could see em naked if you wanted. They could also see you naked. But in the end everyone will get tired of seeing people they know naked, it won't be such a big deal.

The only reason leaked naked photos have such a big impact and people get blackmailed over them is because of the power we give to them. There's nothing inherently wrong with being naked, nothing wrong with sex, nothing wrong with shitting. It's all natural. You wouldn't be here unless every single one of your forefathers got naked and had sex. How did it become so taboo is our society? Such a shame, we're ruining kid's futures by not talking about sex, by pretending it doesn't happen and forcing them to go online to learn about it.

Seriously, you wouldn't give a kid the keys to a car and expect them to learn without making any mistakes. Why then do we expect kids to learn how sex works without being taught? Mistakes in this area can be very costly

that's for hedonism 2!

Really nice type of Q&A sir,thanks for all these answers.😊

😂

"Is the purpose of life to learn how to love." @jerrybanfield do you think there is an ultimate purpose in life? Or just one that we make up?

I think that we don't have a purpose given to us, but it's okay if we make one up.

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." - Dalai Lama
"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." -Pablo Picasso

That is a lot of good questions. You are thinking a lot. We need to question ourselves many times.

Great questions, albeit a bit descriptive at times :)

It's all about vision and balance. and I think what you're doing is great.

Thanks for sharing @jerrybanfield

(5). "What do I need to do today to love unconditionally in each situation", its by far the hardest one to apply in my own life, mostly due to a history and nature/nurture. Like a leap of faith, its requires one to set aside a predisposition of being skeptical and believe in the greater good. One hopes karma is watching, but is that not a selfish goal? I think so.

Upvoted and resteemed your post

Nah, you're just thinking too much, or whoever asked you these has been.

Please answer mining bitcoins is profitable or not🤔🤔🤣🤣

What do I need to do today to love unconditionally in each situation? Keep writing this post or do something else? Please keep doing this because a lot of people are been blessed and empowered by you

wow this is different from your market anysis. Just sounds like you need a vacation!

😂😂😁

Very thought provoking questions.

Oh no , number 8 , number 8 @jerrybanfield
Listen to ur wife she is right 😅

Its in the nose not in the mouth for a reason 🤓

Cool post though !

nice..

Yes the world is beautiful yet not everyone had witnessed that, some people's world are still hell as we speak! Let's keep loving until and turning the world around good just like steemit has enabled us in it's own way.

Hi @jerrybanfield !
i'm fatema from Pakistan,i think you need vacation because you are looking tired of daily grind.......
following you.

You have a great sense of humor Jerry. I beat you'd make a really good comedian if you ever went that direction. who knows?

You seems to be overthinking here, also, loving to be an extrovert at the same time...you have got that luxury of being followed by people , i guess, from your subject matter more than you .... ...lol

Great post! I have those in mind too but i cant explain it in words 😉 thank you for sharing it @jerrybanfield 👍👍👍

U just said my mind.

“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.”

Interesting, would like to see more!

To be, or not to be ... That its the question hahaha

😂😂😁

Great questions......

Great to post..

You are so curious man

Deep, man ;)
Happy Monday!

Wow!
Questions are endless and answers as well.
I guess my ultimate questions would only be 3:

  1. What is really and truly my purpose in life?
  2. How do I know my purpose?
  3. What will I do after knowing my purpose?

Any questions to raise human awareness and consciousness are beneficial for all, thanks for sharing Jerry.

@jerrybanfield Where are the Answers. Lol :)

Yes Jerry,
I am glad to read all the 10 question the are great question answer to the 10th question as per my opinion .According to bible God made Man and woman , he said everything is good, then Adam and eve Sinned ,First thing they said was they are naked,then God send them out with cloths on.
This bible version cut short.

Love how you ask these questions from a philosophical view.... It's seems funny but some of us actually think of some really weird questions each day @jerrybanfield

Jerry, I love how raw and brutally honest you are. You bare yourself to the world and we love you for it!

great question

Too deep for me first thing on a Monday Morning....I need my coffee first..

@jerrybanfield - Man, your honesty and openness is commendable. Keep it up

nice post ! Im in love with Maria-huhana she is the luv
of ma life she has beautiful green eyes and her basement
is boiling hot :) SteemOn

nice wor

While questions, one thing that somewhat grinds my gears is that you (Jerry) always seem to put things in the form of a sentence in like all your posts. It's fine, it's just how you write but I've noticed in all your posts you have so many questions sometimes more question marks than periods lol.. Just something I noticed a lot lol.. Hope you don't take it the wrong way

amazing post, thanks for sharing!!

All you have done will create a butterfly effect on those minnows including me and im spreading your profile to many new steemit out there who needs help too! =D Jerry you rock!

Would anyone still follow me if they saw me picking my nose and eating the booger which I could not even spell without spellcheck?

of course we do. i think you will get much more followers then! lol. The internet is a crazy place and we wonder why 'apple pen' is one of the song so viral? we dont have a clue why. the answer is because the internet sometimes bring the child in you

Amazing

Thank you for an interesting blog! and this post specially !

Thanks for share your thoughts with us. Live your life your own rules. Don't depend your happiness on others. Enjoy every moment of the life... It will give full suprises and joy... Don't think too much..

Great questions, please consider making afterwards posting your answers.

I will answer your questions with two questions:

  1. Where else can you earn $191+ in three hours for writing about eating boogers?

  2. Can you teach me how to earn $191+ in three hours for writing about eating boogers?

Really nice .. I dont think jerry you need any other job...
not bad.jpg

You have some good questions and worth thinking about ! Thanks for sharing :)

A lot to ponder upon for the rest of the day... Well. i caught on this....."How do we know if we are truly helping and being of service today? Are upvotes and comments the best way to tell? How about views?" And I say to that, well, it all depends on the stage we are in. If you are looking for views alone(i.e people that would actually read the comment), facebook is there to facilitate that and though we have been doing that all the while. Now, having a platform wherein both views and upvotes can be achieved, the truth is that someday (when the people would not care only about the upvotes) people would go for the more views. At a stage where most do not care about the earnings (all confortable) then the views would come.

Great post jer

@jerrybanfield, If this is your thoughts without drugs,,,,,man I would love to hear your thoughts after smoking pot! LOL!

Those questions are really thought provoking. Thanks for sharing, upvoted and resteemed :)

Very interesting questions,they really get you thinking. I had a heart attack 2 years ago,i was in a bad way a year latter, in and out of hospital for the first year. i'm recovering now but my views and lifestyle are a lot different now . i no longer value physical objects as much and value family and friends a lot more

hahaha the booger story made me laugh :)
answer to number 9, i think it is courageous and also a little hilarious :)

This post has been ranked within the top 10 most undervalued posts in the first half of Jul 10. We estimate that this post is undervalued by $47.34 as compared to a scenario in which every voter had an equal say.

See the full rankings and details in The Daily Tribune: Jul 10 - Part I. You can also read about some of our methodology, data analysis and technical details in our initial post.

If you are the author and would prefer not to receive these comments, simply reply "Stop" to this comment.

  1. Do you feel like a slave? If you are not enjoying what you are doing here then I would say you are definitely leaning that way. People are reading your posts and gaining knowledge from them including myself.

  2. That is a very deep question that a few simple sentences cannot answer. I really hope the killers and evil people are not living eternally somewhere.

  3. Comments are the best way to tell, although views sure would help. It's tough when you write a post for an hour and a half and your receiving upvotes and great comments, but it quickly disappears as new content is being posted every single second pushing your post further and further down the spectrum.

  4. I would say learning to love is a purpose of life. Not just learning to love but learning to accept, which I feel goes hand in hand.

  5. Read all the responses and reply to the ones who really took time to write them.
    6.I'm trying to figure out why I accomplish so much when I have no time, but when I'm off of work and don't have anything to do I get nothing done. I will say when I get things done, I'm proud of my work.
    7.Do you enjoy the hustle. I've discovered that when I'm not hustling I'm not as happy. I feel like hard work and making a difference is what life is about. I feel like a lot of people who suffer, are suffering when they are not working.
    8.I think right now you would be followed on here regardless of what you did.

  6. I don't think it is really either. Disgusting things are a part of life, especially when you have pets and kids. I think anyone who has either of the two understand.
    10.I agree with that idea, but I also agree that if you do not post pictures of yourself naked and you only show your naked body to the person you love then it is one way to give them something that no one else in the world can have. I think there is something special to that.
