What if...

What if you had no money?


What if you ate only roadkill or french fries or tic tacs  or chocolate or potatoes or monstor munch or McDonalds food?  Or what if you had nothing to eat but bugs and weeds?


What if you forgot to pay your yearly fire protection fee one year, even though you had always paid it in the past?


What if you were a liberated woman who nevertheless wanted to marry a rich man?  Or a woman in a repressive society who just wanted to stay alive?  Or a woman who willingly or unknowingly fell in love with a terrorist?


--What if we had no power to contemplate and alter our own emotional and logical interpretations of the experiences we encountered in our lives?  Would our personal histories be predestined and inevitable?


--What if you found yourself in a vicious cycle of wanting to do something you thought you could do, but not being able to motivate yourself to do it?  Or vice versa?  Would you continue to persist in this state, or would you moderate your goals, or would you get some assistance, or would you blame something/somebody else and stop trying?


What if all our microprocessors, computers and internet suddenly stopped working?  Would this plunge us back to the early 20th century?  Or to societal collapse and an interim dark age of fear, confusion, mass starvation, disease, violence, flight from cities and serfdom?


What if every nation stopped the practice of secretly helping its enemies' enemies conduct war, thus eliminating proxy wars?  Would this help or hurt the cause of peace?  What if only some nations stopped this practice, but not all?


What if you really wanted to know yourself or someone else...what questions might you ask?
