New Year. Some resolutions.

I feel like I need to make a distinction between the two resolutions that I am going to make. One of them is utilitarian busy-work that should just be done. The other one has been brewing in my head for the last few months. I've discussed around it before. It is coincidence that I happened to really nail it down during the New Year time. Quite simply, it is more important that a simple New Years Resolution.

The first New Years Resolution is to update my password system. Previously my password system was embarrassingly non-existent. In other words, there really was no system. Now there is an obtuse methodology to it. It is easy to remember, but would be difficult to deduce on inspection.

The important resolution is quite different.


I will ask people more questions that I want to ask them.


Questions that I hope the person has asked themselves already, but might have not shared the answer with anyone else. If they haven't asked themselves these questions, there the type of questions that I think need to be thought about. There the type of questions that are said when the line "Speak now, or forever hold your piece" is said at a wedding.

I have little justification to ask these types of questions other than the fact that the alternative is to simply do nothing. I do nothing in response to a lot of things. The outcomes of these questions is so unpredictable that I can't really make a good judgment of right and wrong. I want to change my default decision about the questions to "ask them" instead of "ignore the question".

So maybe, if your reading this, I might ask you a question. I am nervous about this, and I am only confident in the fact that I know this is something that I want to do, not that it is definitively something I should do.


Why do I feel like I'm skirting on thin ice?

I think those questions are truly the best ones... and you might just be the catalyst someone else needs to start analyzing their life rather than standing idly by. Go for it!
