Sit down next to someone you don't know in your new class:
Hi, I'm so-in-so. What's your name?
cool. What year are you?
cool. What's your major?
cool. And what do you want to do with that?
cool.
You never speak to them again unless introduced outside of class or at church, and then all of a sudden you have so much in common.
THE QUESTIONS WE REALLY WANT TO ASK:
..... And what is your definition of life?
What mantra do you live by?
Where do you see yourself in this pattern of life, or is it even a pattern to you?
What makes you tick?
What pisses you off?
What is the worst book you've ever read, and was it only because it didn't have a happy ending?
Which character were you?
Which character are you?
Would you consider yourself capable of staging a coup?
If only we would delve differently. Is it that I'm afraid, or is it that I know that you would be? Are we so complacent to not alarm people? And, AND why do people not accept this sincere gesture to celebrate in the feast of what I like to call actually-life-actualization.
Nice to meet you. Did you do the reading for today?
cool.
