Ok, I'm seriously bored... so I'm going to try to start a new game. I haven't seen this one of the board, so forgive me if you've seen it before.
The games called "Would you rather?"
Here's the rules:
You give two options of things to do, but both have to be bad in their own way.
i.e.: Would you rather never dive again or never be able to come onto land again?
Get it?
Then the next person chooses one of those and gives a new "would you rather..."
This game reminds me of a US Navy psychological profile exam we had to take back in the 70's. It had questions on it like "would you rather smash your thumb with a hammer or throw up on a public bus?" "Would you rather die of starvation or freeze to death?" I'm sure they learned something about my nature and ability to serve. Frankly, I don't want to know what that was.
In that light though........Would you rather make a lot of money in a mind-numbing, mentally toxic profession you hate or barely live paycheck to paycheck in a thrilling occupation you absolutely love?
for whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea - e.e. cummings
And if I may modify an aviation quote by an anonymous author: "Diving itself is not inherently dangerous, but it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity, or neglect."
Would you rather live in the tropics and dive almost daily but the political situation is unstable and dangerous or only be able to dive every 2 to 3 years?
Would you rather have no technology but have endless books and people to talk to or have all the technology in the world but no one to talk to and nothing to read?
