What is your idea of perfect happiness?

'Happiness' means nothing without its opposite. Its seeming 'perfection' is then marred by its mirror. It's also an arbitrary concept that today can be altered at the flick of a switch. Furthermore, the word 'idea' means something that is envisioned; part of the imagination. I prefer to rely on the imagination for the parts of life for which it is rightfully suited.

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be and what would you do?

I have no wish to be anyone else. I have struggled long enough to be 'myself' without starting all over in order to be someone else. As if any of those people I might even consider were themselves, anyway...

What one experience in your life so far has had the greatest impact on you?

There isn't one, because the qualities of experiences are not comparable, at least on the level the question is aimed. Actually, it can also be said that there are no 'experiences' but one "experience".

What is the one trait that you hate most about yourself?

I don't 'hate' it, but my gullibility can be irritating and problematic to me. It has also caused me a great deal of unnecessary suffering.

What is the one trait that you hate most about others?

I don't hate anything about anyone. Hate is always posited as the opposite to 'love', and as far as my experience has indicated, this is erroneous. To hate something always means that you identify with something, and this, to me, is a very great trap.

What is your greatest extravagance?

I have none at all. Perhaps simply existing, if you like. Although that isn't *my* extravagance, I'm inclined to think. I tend towards the realisation of purpose, and discovering that purpose as far as possible.

In what way would you prefer to die?

Consciously.

What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

There aren't enough virtues that people consider worth aspiring to. I would say that all of them are underrated and very rarely even attempted.

Which time period or event (past or future) would you most like to visit?

Now.

What is your greatest regret?

Impossible to measure. There are many regrets, but I try to use those as impetus to further what I do. Better said, what I *have* to do.

When and where were you the happiest?

I apologise for being blunt, but this is a stupid question.

What do you consider your greatest achievement so far?

I have achieved nothing. However, I have sincerely *tried*, and this is something: very small and insignificant, but still something.

If there is “life after death” what would you choose to come back as?

'What'? I have no wish to 'come back' as an 'object'. I question, a) whether there is life on earth anyway, leaving aside "afterwards".

What is your most treasured possession?

None.

Which natural gift or ability would you most like to possess?

I have all the so-called 'natural' ones, and am doing my best not to waste them. What I would most like is the ability to truly *be here now*. This was 'natural' many years ago in ordinary human life, but has been eroded by many things. The ability to 'do', and 'to be'. However, I don't think that one can 'possess' such things. They, ultimately must 'possess' you.

What is your most marked characteristic?

None. Or rather, none that I can think of. Rather a question for another to answer, I suppose.

What is the strangest dream you ever had, and were you able to interpret it?

Dreams are disturbances and imbalances. I can remember none, nor would I ever interpret or act on any I had. In fact, I am of the opinion that such practices are dangerous.

How would you describe the perfect room for yourself?

I can't. It doesn't exist. If it did, I wouldn't be typing this now.

Who would you most like to fight?

Nobody. One can only fight oneself, anyway.

What is your motto?

None.
