Behind the Headlines

Actually, I just put that header because with the new feed on Monroetalks.com I feel pressure to make the titles a little more intriguing.

Existentialist question of the day: If you were doomed to repeat one life, would you choose to repeat the life you’re living right now?

As a reporter I often find myself hobnobbing with people who may not be at the high points in their lives - sometimes it has to do with cops/corrections, other times it’s scandals and still others it has to do with
injustices or inequities in the world. I’m often tempted to ask the aforementioned question, but part of me feels like it’s not fair.
The simple act of asking questions already leads to self examination. What would a question like this do?

Let me know. Would it be fair to ask? How would you answer?
