Questions


It’s a good way to live! It helps keep us accountable and governs much of what we do.

What? Living in anticipation of questions.

If you know someone is going to ask you later if you did something, then you will think pretty hard before doing it or not doing it.

About 2,000 years ago, Seneca, a Roman philosopher, statesman, and playwright, said there are four questions we should ask ourselves at the end of each day.

What infirmity have I mastered today?

What passions have I opposed?

What temptation have I resisted?

What virtue have I acquired?

You can modify them, but I think anticipating the asking of questions at the end of each day is a good way to live better.

What do you think?
