Which is worse?

A little game I play, usually intoxicated, but I think of probing questions to ask while I am sober at work [hopefully!], on the bus, procrastinating etc.

It’s funny that most people will automatically answer the question with their preference, and not answer the question of what is actually worse.

Here’s a sample of my stupid game, and will add more here and there. 

WHICH IS WORSE?

 

  1. To live life with regrets, OR
  2. To live life with none at all?

 

  1. Drain all the oceans in the world with an eye dropper, OR
  2. Count all the grains of sand in the world one at a time?

 

  1. Falling to your death, OR
  2. Being buried alive?

 

  1. To be talked about all the time [good and bad gossip], OR
  2. To never be talked about at all [poorly or favourably]. 

Comments/answers/suggestions more than welcome! Hope to have a drink and test the questions out on people with you! Good insight to the type of people they are by the answers they choose and the reasoning behind it.

    To always have Sez by your side or
    To never have Sez by your side.

    Yep, its a hard one.

      Hahaha, nice one, Sez.
      Of course it’s worse to not have Sez by your side…unless you’re trying to keep the trip you planned for your partner’s birthday a secret… ;)

    To live without your sight OR
    To live without sound…

    • http://www.keirawong.com Keira

      Considering I’m half blind already, and I get by, perhaps I would choose to live without sound as the worse option…
      No, it’s worse to be without sight!

    To live life with regrets, OR
    To live life with none at all?

    to live without none, to own all the decisions i have made.

    Drain all the oceans in the world with an eye dropper, OR
    Count all the grains of sand in the world one at a time?

    wrong question.

    Falling to your death, OR
    Being buried alive?

    um.

    To be talked about all the time [good and bad gossip], OR
    To never be talked about at all [poorly or favourably].

    tricky one.

    never talked about. i’d rather have none than too much.

  • bare

    omg, i said live without none. mean, live without any!

  • http://www.keirawong.com Keira

    I like your take on the regrets question: Owning your own decisions. I like it a lot.

    And I totally agree wit you re being talked about. I’ve only known one person (who can’t open a can) who would rather be talked about, good and bad, because he was so starved of affection/attention.

    Greig Fleet heard the best fear and adopted as his own after being so impressed:

    Falling to your death from a tall building, but just before you hit the ground, knocking your front teeth on the metal mouthpiece of a drinking fountain! ;)

      Ouch! That’s my worst fear is violently knocking my teeth out. And drinking fountains remind me of the FNM song, Kindergarten, so then it kind of makes me feel better. I’m still holding my front teeth! Ouch!
