What Sort Of

[Guest Common_Night-Owl]

What sort of life do you want to live? (Professionally, socially, privately.)

What sort of person do you want to be?

Who is or who are your role-model(s)? (If it's not a renowned person, then tell us a bit about him or her.)

 

(Is this a lighthearted enough topic for this sub-forum?)

I want to be The Rock.  Not like The Rock, I want to become The Rock.  He seems like a cool dude with a fun life.  Jason Momoa or Will Smith also acceptable 🤣

Then you'll have to ask your fairy godmother about that. But she'll tell you that it's impossible, because we each have our own souls, and then offer you, as explanation, a brief yet complex course in quantum metaphysics. :-) Or maybe you don't also want his personality, but only to "exchange bodies"? She'll still refuse your wish.

 

But seriously. Fine, I'll start:

My role-models are the pious and tough peasants* who have lived all over Europe 150 years ago. They were truly free people. Though I'm far from being like any of them.

(*I wanted to say: ascetical desert-dwelling monks, but I'm even farther from being like them, than from the peasants.)

Perfect.

@Ashley, you may, if you so will, move also this topic to the 'Central Perk' sub-forum. I won't complain.
