Conversation Questions about the Meaning of Life
1- Have you or a friend ever gone to a psychic or fortune teller? If so, what happened?
I haven’t personally been to a psychic or fortune teller, but a friend once visited one just for fun. The psychic gave some vague predictions that didn’t really come true, but it was entertaining. Sometimes people just want a glimpse of what might happen, even if it’s mostly guesswork. It’s interesting how some people genuinely believe in those readings. I think it’s a mix of hope and curiosity that draws people in.
2- Has anything ever happened to you that you cannot explain?
Yes, once I experienced something strange, a sudden feeling of deja vu that was so intense, it felt like I was living a moment twice exactly the same way. I couldn’t explain why it happened or what caused it. Moments like that make you question how much we actually understand about the mind and time. Sometimes things just happen beyond our current knowledge. It keeps life a little mysterious.
3- Do you believe that there are things in our universe that cannot be explained? Can you give some examples?
Definitely. Our universe is huge and full of mysteries that science hasn’t fully explained yet. For example, dark matter and dark energy are things we know exist but don’t fully understand. Then there’s consciousness. How our brain creates our sense of self is still a big puzzle. I think there will always be things beyond explanation, which makes exploring the unknown exciting.
4- Do you believe in reincarnation or that you only live once? What about life after death?
I lean more towards the idea that we might live only once, but I’m open to the idea of reincarnation because it’s a comforting thought to some people. Life after death is a tough question some believe in heaven or some kind of afterlife, while others think it’s just the end. I think it depends on personal beliefs and cultural background. It’s fascinating how different views shape how we live and cope with mortality.
5- Do you believe that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) exist? Why?
I do believe UFOs exist in the sense that there are flying objects we can’t identify, because people have seen strange things in the sky all over the world. Whether they are aliens or something else is another question. The universe is so vast that it feels likely there’s other life somewhere. So I keep an open mind but stay skeptical until there’s solid proof.
6- Do you believe in guardian angels, ghosts, vampires, dragons, or witches? Why?
I think guardian angels and ghosts are part of folklore and personal belief systems. Some people say they feel protected or haunted, so it’s hard to dismiss. Vampires, dragons, and witches feel more like myths or stories from history and culture rather than reality. Still, these ideas reflect our fears and hopes, and they shape interesting tales. I don’t personally believe in them literally but enjoy the stories.
7- Can demons take over control of a person? (Possession?) How?
The idea of demons possessing people is mostly from religious or cultural stories. Some believe possession happens when evil spirits take control of a person’s body and mind. Usually, it’s described in horror movies or certain traditions but isn’t proven scientifically. Psychologically, some behaviors might be explained by mental illness rather than possession. It’s a complicated topic mixing belief and interpretation.
8- Do you believe in God? Why or why not? Do you believe in the Devil?
I do believe in God in a general sense like a higher power or creator but I’m not tied to one strict definition. It feels like something beyond human understanding that gives meaning to life. Belief in the Devil is often linked to religious teachings about good and evil, which I see more symbolically. For me, these beliefs help frame moral values but are personal choices.
9- What is the most frightening thing that has ever happened to you? Explain
The most frightening experience was when I got lost during a night hike in the woods. Everything around me felt eerie and quiet, and I couldn’t find the path back for a while. The darkness made my imagination run wild, thinking about all sorts of scary things. It taught me to be more prepared and respect nature. Even now, just remembering it gives me a chill.
10- Could you ever spend the night at a cemetery? Why or why not?
I don’t think I could spend the night at a cemetery. It feels too quiet and spooky, especially when it’s dark. The thought of being surrounded by so many graves makes me uncomfortable and anxious. I respect cemeteries as peaceful resting places but would rather visit during the day. Maybe with friends or for a special event, but alone at night sounds scary.
