A game in a different tune..

At yesterday's meeting, part of the team building process was to answer questions from a card that we picked (eyes astray from the pile), I picked the following questions:

1. If money was no object how would you have a party? I said, well I will probably serve finer food, but not the best like, caviar ($1,000 a tin can), foie gras, the best wine, the best of everything, but it will be same get together and at the same place. My rationale being, we will enjoy the good food and our cholesterol levels will shoot up, and then what, we wouldn't experience the joy and camaraderie of friendship, as our focus will be on the food. I wouldn't even dare think of going to the expensive locations for it is cold in those palatial locations. Too much space between rooms, too much distance from each other, nah, it's not going to work.


2. Another question was, if you can be someone else for 30 days, who will it be? Everybody seemed to think that they can't be someone else. I opined if it is for a moment, sure, I would like to experience that exhilirating feeling of winning the lottery. Note that it is only for a moment, though, because after that, that realization will sink in, and all other emotions will follow, seven deadly sins?Someone said, I would like to be contemplative ala Dalai Lama without the responsibilities, perhaps.Another, very intuitively indicated that if he does not have to worry about bills, he would like to go to a Third World country and experience the challenges and perhaps help alleviate the hardship of life.  Good, that I was able to check myself and bit a reply that he does not need to travel far to do that, I can tell him how it was. I have seen it, it is hard it seemed, but I saw happy faces despite of hunger, I saw toothless smiles without the running water to even take a bath. I saw God's grace in it all.
