What is this website about?
This is a basic blog which is based on a single post, which is essentially a single question designed to provoke thought, evoke emotions and encourage conversations.
What is the question being asked?
The question is a simple one: Suppose you know you have only one hour left to live, how would you spend that time?
Why is this question interesting?
While this seems like a simple question at first glance, there are much deeper implications to ponder and consider. In answering this question, one must really imagine what is important to oneself in life. Is it material possessions, family, or friends, physical pleasures like food and sex, driving a car, or intellectual stimulation like reading a book or watching a movie? Is it a combination of any or all of these things? If one has only one hour to live, how this person chooses to spend it tells a great deal about what is truly important in that person's life, and what this person truly values.
Why is answering this question important?
Most of us humans, especially in the Western civilization live day to day in our very busy lives, centered around work, family, relationships, hobbies, and ambitions. Seldom do we take the time to slow down, and be mindful of what is really important to us amidst this hodge-podge of busywork, jumping from one task to another with the goal of getting through another day as fast as we possibly can. We usually don't stop to think about what is really important to us, in the very limited amount of time we have been allotted to be alive on earth.....at least not until it's too late to realize it. In answering this profound question, we may identify our personal truths which can help us be more mindful about how we currently conduct our lives and relationships. Taking some time to answer this question honestly can be very revealing about how we may want to take a step back in our current living state, and revisit things that might need to be addressed more carefully and with more mindful attention.
