Our 'What ifs' In LIfe

[Velvett]

---

I know some are just not "what ifs" people coz when i try to give them one of my scary "what-if situations", they brush it off...obviously scared to just even entertain the thought.

so this is for those who are not afraid to play the what-if game til the end. i'm not superstitious so i dont believe it will eventually manifest in my/your life. just mental exercise and emotional preparation, nothing more. but knock on wood if you can't help it.

okay, so what-if questions and answers here are welcome.

here's something to start with:

What if you married someone who, after 5 years or so, degenerated into dementia caused by Almeizher's? As in di na kahinumdum kinsa siya or ka (sometimes), wets the bed, cries like a baby, gets violent, doesn't recognize any of your kids anymore...and it gets worse each year. What would you do? Are you going to leave her/him?

hmmm.

In the Time Machine, the sub-humans' leader Über-Morlock (Jeremy Irons) suggested to Alexander:

"You're a man haunted by those two most terrible words, What If?"

'la lang.

^on the contrary, shim. those who are afraid of the what-ifs in life get "haunted" by them....

[shimiyu]

I guess I'd stay with her. I didn't marry her only to break my vows.

[Velvett]

^you're one of the few who'll stay committed no matter what :mrgreen:

another what-if:

What if you were in a situation similar to that of tom hanks in "Castaway". You were engaged when you lost her/him to a tragedy (air or sea). turned out years later that the missing person was still alive and wanted to see you. Problem is, you are now married to someone else and with kids. what will you do?

Ooops.. nasayup. Honestly, I wouldn't know what to do. I'd probably ask myself "what if I waited?" :

One of my what-if's is: What if I was born a beggar? Born to a beggar, grow up to be a beggar. That thought used to scare mewhen I was still a kid.

(Anyway are we supposed to answer?)

[Velvett]

^yes we can share what-if questions as well as answers.

if i were a beggar, i will probably knock on the doors of christian missionaries' homes and ask them to employ me as househelp. I hope that will cross my mind coz apparently it hasn't to many beggars out there.

[color=purple] then i guess its time for me to travel all over the world... for free and then try again to go back when sunrises...

what if i was simply crazy and beautiful?...

parang mixed feelings ko ani dah..I'm a positivist man gud....instead of saying what if when I wanted something, I'd use a more stronger phrases, I want and I will...good thing about what ifs, makes you prepared for the worst...

What if you were born in Africa, malnourished, sick and suddenly orphaned?
