Poll #1228309 Good vs. Evil
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: None

Do you believe in life after death?

Care to elaborate on the above question? Please do so if you selected "other."

If you believe in heaven AND hell, what's the criteria that'll land you in one or the other?

Lastly, what makes someone a good person? (If you run out of room, please add more in a comment.)

Do you think you're a good person? (I've only offered the options of "yes" and "no" because I want to know how you judge yourself in black-and-white terms.)

Who's the goodest, kindest, most-likely-to-go-to-heaven person you know?

Why?

Who's the meanest, nastiest, least-likely-to-go-to-heaven person you know? (PERSONALLY - don't say "Jeffrey Dahmer" unless you've actually met him.)

Why?

And now for something completely different.

If we've grown apart, if you find yourself skimming over my entries, if you can't think of anything we have in common any more, but you didn't want to unfriend me because you didn't want the drama - please don't be afraid any more. You're welcome to go, today or tomorrow or next month, and I won't hold it against you. I won't even mention your name in my journal. Okay? Okay. Life is too short to make a scene.

Every week, my super-cool-suave-silly friend popfiend hosts Drama Free Thursday, and idea I've thought of stealing from him more than once. Since scheduling difficulties prevented popfiend from making a DFT post this week, I volunteered to have a drama-free day on my LJ. It's nice to have a weekly reminder to keep the drama llama in the pen. We all bump into bullsh*t on the 'net, and if you're like me, the pettiness can really pull ya down. Today, let's decide to stay afloat. Though it's sometimes appropriate to take a stand, it's often just as appropriate to let it go and walk away.

Earlier today, I went downstairs for a smoke and found Brad and Jan, two of my favorite smoking buddies, already out on the back deck.

"My life is so good!" I said. "I get to hang out with my frinds for a few minutes."

Brad replied, "It's kind of sad that you get so excited about smoking with us."

"No," I said. "I think it's a good thing. If spending time with people I like is enough to brighten my day, I'm lucky."

So tell me, what small things can make a bad day turn around for you? What are your little reminders from the universe that hey, life can be pretty darn good?

And while you're at it, think about how you can brighten someone else's day today. Spread the love. Keep the peace :-)
