A Question of Perspective

Ask Questions

I ask a lot of questions.

Both because I want to know everything and because I want to have the answer to everything.  These things are related.

I want to know everything because it’s interesting to me.  I want to have the answer to everything because I love to be right.  About just about anything.

I have no problem telling you that I don’t know what that $.5o word you just used means.  Or that $.05 word.  And I will tell you to shut up and stop making fun of me for not knowing and tell me the damn definition already.  I have no stuff about it.  I don’t feel less smart for not knowing. 

I do feel smarter and better for not giving a shit about if you think I’m a moron and just asking.

Two of my favorite people in the world like to make up the answers to things.  They are both very believable.  This is a problem for me.  Especially because I am gullible.  I will believe you if you tell me something ridiculous, unless I know it is untrue, or it goes against something else I know to be a truth.

I will ask them if they are full of shit.  Usually, they tell me the truth.
