Why don’t we play more?
    7+

    Mostly because it’s fun, but I wonder about the benefits of unstructured, inclusive and spontaneous activities that allow people to experience themselves without purpose.

    Why is it that Australians get a hefty fine if they don’t vote for elections but then leaders have been chosen over night without their votes? Should Australia adopt the European model like that of England where voting isn’t compulsory?

    El nino and la niña are natural weather phenomena. Climate change is not. Is a scientist or two measuring co2 in the australian atmosphere so that we can mitigate our behaviour and transit to market in a considered way. This affects peoples living standards. Let’s avoid poverty!

    If a person has no trust for themselves … is it possible that they can trust in others?
    2+

    If that person has no love for themselves … Is it possible that they can truly love another? If a person has no respect for themselves … Is it possible for them to respect others ? Would this then suggest that a person won’t be truly happy in any situation unless they have achieved that elusive frame of mind of loving, understanding and trusting in one’s own processes?  Wouldn’t it also suggest that we should view the state of our relationship with ourselves and others as being reflective of each other? And finally wouldn’t that then indicate that unless we can love ourselves we can’t love others? … So is it  important for a ‘happy life’ to love and appreciate yourself?

    Why has society constructed this idea of a ‘path’ to follow in order to be happy and successful? And are we all just waiting to die?
    6+

    This is the current internal debate I am struggling with as a student about to graduate and go out into the competitive and soul-crushing work force world. There is often this moral vs. wealth and success debate when thinking about the person I want to be and whether I can truly make an impact in this world. How can we break free from the ideals in place by our society and comfortably be ourselves without giving up certain parts of who we are and how we think?

    Does society need to face up to its diversity rather than fear losing its privacy?
    4+

    Suppression of information is a means of maintaining power structures. Society prefers to pretend we all conform to an imagined standard rather than accept its own diverse nature.

    Why do we hug dogs and eat pigs?
    11+

    We love dogs for their loyalty, fluffiness and ability to connect, yet we also know that pigs are extremely intelligent, sociable and physically huggable. How can we hug one and eat another? Why is it that some animals are friends and others food?
