Topic #18: What is a brave act? Topic #19: Would you want to live forever?
Thanks, everyone, for taking time over the weekend to vote for this week's topics. Two topics clearly interested a majority of the voters. Please leave a link to your post on the topic as a response to this topic. The topic period will run through Friday, but for the best results, try to respond with a link by Wednesday.
And thank you to everyone for all of the encouragement during my exams. I'm happy to say, I'm finished! (Yippee!)
Happy Holidays, everyone! Simone
Edit (Tuesday early morning): Wow! I turn my head for a second and so many responses came in. It's excellent to see many people joining us early in the week as it makes for an excellent discussion (and more comments to go around). My apologies for joining the forum late. Because of the motivated response, I've linked each of you very quickly. Remember, the purpose of our participation in Socratic discourse is that we ask questions--of ourselves and of others. If you don't understand or don't agree with someone's point of view, ask them a question. And try not to assume you know everything already. Really, if you did, why would you be here? You should be out there writing books or curing the world of disease, shouldn't you?
Oh, and I also should add that I will be updating links a maximum of twice per day. So if you're looking for participant blogs, you may wish to check the latest responses (especially on Friday or later).
Enjoy! Simone
