it is better to have an open mind all the time, in any situation
78: How has honor changed? Does honor still exist?
honor is doing the right thing rather than the easy thing. It's doing what you say you'll do, not making promises you won't keep. It's living up to standards of right & wrong.
I don't think that's changed, and I believe it will always exist (more or less).
79: Describe a time when you should have stood up for someone.
A supervisor once divulged (unasked) confidential information about a colleague with whom I had a close relationship. If it was a test of my loyalty, I passed: I told my friend.
80: What bad habits do you want to get rid of?
being kind to people who do not deserve it; excessive speeding; and supporting shitty businesses simply because they are local or small
81: What good habits do you want to develop?
using my unexpected fortune in a beneficial manner; practicing kindness toward those I meet on exotic vacations; and never wearing less than top-quality footwear
82: If you could ask a single person one question, and they had to answer truthfully, who and what would you ask?
I would ask D for the key to the safe
83: Is it better to lie and not hurt your friend, or to tell the truth and hurt him/her?
lying is on a sliding scale of value, and everyone who's part of the social contract knows it.
99: Favorite quote about life and why.
at the moment: "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not." [André Gide, from 'Autumn Leaves']
100: Do you get offended easily? Do you think that this is a good trait? Why or why not?
I don't think I'm easily offended, but it's not hard to wound me. The difference is that 'offended' implies a perceived insult, where 'wounded' is about real hurt.
