A library I visited today was a room within a room. The inner room was floor to ceiling glass and cramped with shelves. Shelves of old, rare, and very expensive books.
1. Are you willing to remain silent on something you strongly believe in, in order to avoid confrontation with your friends or family. Why would you, or wouldn't you do this?
If they are friends and family, no, I trust them enough to speak my mind without backlash due to irrational associations between my opinions and my character. As for other people, it depends. If they expect an opinion from me, I give it. Otherwise I remain silent in fear of making a potential enemy.
2. Do you think trust is necessary for a "real relationship?" Do you trust easily? Do you find your faith in others is usually justified, or have you been betrayed one too many times?
My relationships with people, the good ones at least, have always relied on trust. I don't trust as easily as I did, say, two years ago and I will probably find it even harder to trust two years from now depending on what I end up doing. My faith in people depend more on common sense rather than outright betrayal.
3. Have you bought something on ebay, or another auction site? Tell us about your experience. Was it positive or negative? What did you get? Would you do it again?
No. I rarely do online shopping due to my paranoia with using credit cards and checks in general.
