Thread on the 25 questions the swiss author Max Frisch published in his diary entries in the 1970s.
They are...difficult questions....
1. Are you sure that the continued existence of humanity after you and everyone you know died is actually important to you?
2. Why?
3. How many of your children haven't been born because you didn't want them to?
4. Who do you wish you'd never met?
5. Do you know you're in the wrong concerning another person, even if they don't know it, and do you hate yourself for it?
6. Do you want eidetic memory, to remember every single thing you've ever perceived?
7. What's the name of the politician who's death through illness or accident etc. would fill you with hope? Or is no one replaceable?
8. Who's the dead person you would want to see again?
9. Who's the dead person you'd rather not?
10. Would you prefer to have been born in another country or culture, and if so which?
11. How old do you want to get?
12. If you had the power to order what you think is right today, would you order it against the opposition of the majority? Yes or no.
13. Why not, if you think it's right?
14. Do you hate a collective easier than a single person, and do you rather hate alone or in a collective?
15. When did you stop believing you're getting smarter/wiser or do you still think so? State your age. (Original: "klüger" - meaning ambiguous)
16. Are you convinced by your self-criticism?
17. What thoughts or actions of yours, do you think, people take offense at and what do you take offense at and if those are not the same: what are you quicker to ask forgiveness for?
18. If you're thinking about not being born: are you unsettled by the idea?
19. When you're thinking about deceased people you know: do you wish the deceased would talk to you or would you rather speak to them?
20. Do you love someone?
21. How do you know?
22. Assuming you've never killed someone, why do you recon that never happened?
23. What are you missing to be happy?
24. What are you grateful for?
25. Would you rather die or continue to live a little bit longer as a healthy animal? Which kind?
