Are you blaming someone for your your unhappiness? - if yes, who and why?
This one is easy, no, I don’t blame anyone for my unhappiness. I firmly believe that it is on me to make my own happiness. Now there are times where it can be difficult because of others’ behavior but it is up to me on how I both react to it and how I handle it.
Granted people can make me astonishingly angry. So there is that.
Which of your values will you never compromise - or never compromise again?
This is an interesting question because I don’t normally think in terms of “my values” so to be able to determine which of these I wouldn’t compromise involves putting my values into concrete wording.
I think for me honesty is critical. I try hard to be honest but it is difficult, mainly because I can’t always find the right words to phrase things that are not harsh.
I think it is in part because I try hard to give the benefit of the doubt and consider different points of view, but some very specific actions I can’t let it go. I find it intensely frustrating when people cheat. Cheating when it is more around creatively solving a puzzle in a novel way, I don’t take issue with it. I enjoy that. No, I am talking about cheating where you are literally taking advantage of others. It triggers my intense sense of justice.
Okay, those are two values, I think that’s good.
